A meme from Lauren:
1) Harken back to your archives.
2) Collect the first sentence you wrote every month for the whole year.
3) Entertain us.
December: I’m at home, working on a book proposal and watching coverage of women’s college soccer.
November: I’m gonna push a button or two with this one: Tuesday afternoons, I meet with Stephanie, my Pilates trainer, at 5:30PM.
October: Lots and lots of good discussion in response to the post a week ago about why some young women reject the feminist label (and, indeed, many of the most basic tenets of feminism).
September: Returning to an FRT with eight of my songs and two from my wife’s collection.
August: The summer session is almost over. In my women’s studies class yesterday, we were talking about obstacles to identifying as feminists.
July: My father’s service on Sunday afternoon was a very moving and, if this is the right word, satisfying occasion.
June: There’s a personal story behind my love for this medieval Japanese poem by Lady Ki No Washika.
May: It’s May Day, the start of a new week and a new month. I’m hoping it will also usher in the return of regular blogging from Hugo.
April: I note that UCLA — my graduate school alma mater — plays for the national championship in basketball tonight.
March: Before I forget, I need to add Susan Russell’s blog to my links list. Susan — who I am happy to say reads this blog — is the president of Integrity USA and a leading spokesperson for the rights of gay and lesbian folk in the life of the church.
February: I’ve got an 8:00 class four mornings a week during the winter intersession, and most mornings I’ve had time for a quick post before it.
January: Friday night, my wife and I got back from a long, happy, and delayed honeymoon.
Gosh, that’s a bore.
It may not make for super-exciting reading, but these 12 sentences do function remarkably well as an index for the themes (teaching, Christianity [although only tangentially, though the Susan Russell mention], feminism, family, exercise) that recur throughout your blog.
