I am like most people, in that there are certain web sites that I frequently visit to check up on news, sports, people, etc. And I don't normally stray from more than a few sites that I know are reliable sources for the information that I care about. So in creating this chance for others to read what I post to the web, I will strive to make this site a valuable one, and give people a reason to visit and read.
My success in doing this, of course, has yet to be determined. Perhaps I will succeed and many people will find the information on here useful. But that may not happen. The point then is not to succeed, but to attempt to succeed.
People's time is too valuable to waste, and so part of the attempt will be to publish information that is useful and, in the opinion of the writer, necessary. Some who visit this site may know me personally, and can use this as another way to stay current with my life and thoughts. Others may simply stumble across, having never heard of me before. I hope that this site is beneficial for those in both categories. And I believe that it will be, because I intend for this site to be not really about me at all, but rather to be a teaching tool for those who will visit.
Primarily, that is what I am: a teacher. So if you are wondering to yourself how the writer has time in the middle of the day to create a blog and add his thoughts to it, the answer is the weather. In Chattanooga, TN where I live, school has been dismissed early for today because of a light dusting of snow in the area. Not exactly a blizzard, but enough that the southerners feel a day out of school is sufficient celebration as well as appropriate precaution, since most in this part of the country are uncomfortable driving in such conditions.
And so it begins: the launching of this web site as an extension of my classroom. Perhaps with a few more students and most definitely with a few less interruptions. Even the weather can't stop me today.
