Does anyone still read this thing?

I heard that people have been checking the blog for updates that have never seemed to materialize. Partially this has been brought to my attention by the influx of email regarding said topic. Well the simple answer to all the inquiries is that I am doing well, but nothing exciting has happened. I have also been insanely busy. Time to write about seemingly nothing has been difficult to come by. I haven't been to the doctor since my last follow up, which is nice. I am all healed up (i.e. no more entrances/exits into/out of my body that weren't there when I was born). School has been demanding much of my attentions of late. I am finishing up teaching 7th graders at a local middle school. I also got a job teaching Math and Grammar to some 5th graders (very part-time). Grant research has been occupying a disproportionate amount of my energy lately as I am planning on researching in Delhi next summer (finally!). I have been working furiously in whatever spare time I have to create a group of essays regarding the ordeals of the summer. I have a naive pipe dream of publishing them some day. Since everyone seemed to enjoy the blog, I figured why not? Once I get a decent chunk done (right now I have about 35 pages), I will put a link on here to them so that everyone can devote more of their time to my favorite subject, me.

So here I am. Everything is good and done. I feel like I should offer some perspective on everything that happened and how life has changed. If you are hoping for that, sorry to disappoint. I have no perspective to offer. I am still working on that. Perhaps by page 200 of the collection of needlessly descriptive and self-centered essays I will get there. It seems counter-productive sometimes to dwell in the past, but there is always something that we can gain from major, life-altering events. I am just not 100% on what that is yet. Just stay tuned for more revelations as we get closer to the conclusion of all of this business which will hopefully arrive someday. Maybe I will hit on some universal, earth-shattering truth. That could be fun.
