School begins, hiatus ends

Calloo callay!  Bang the field piece!  The first day of school is upon us.  Today I begin my fourteenth year at Pasadena City College (the first as an adjunct, the last thirteen as a full-timer).  It scarcely seems possible that it has been so long.  Two years ago I posted about the first day of school and the "suspicion of one’s own fraudulence".

It is the end of my self-imposed hiatus from blogging as well.  I hope to have a couple of serious posts up this week — I’ve had some specific requests that I need to address as soon as possible.
