AF: Update on our blog

Hi Everybody:

I dropped off the network there for a couple days as I transitioned from the 2015-16 school year into my summer state of mind...I'm easing (partially, and very slowly) into the 2016-17 year.

Thank you for your patience during the metamorphosis.  I will be more attentive to you and to the blog over the next ten weeks, and when I go offline -- (I like to take little 48-72 hour technology respites) -- I'll let you know so you'll know what to expect.

Here's where we are on the blog:

Two people are signed up on the blog! welcome Jordyn and Nina.  Write something!  Don't be shy.  Don't worry about sounding like a genius.  Just start a conversation.

I sent Rudy and Talia invitations several days ago, but they have not responded yet; the invitation will likely expire soon, so they may have to ask again.  Take note of this please.  Respond as soon as you receive the invite, please.  I don't really like doing clerical work twice.

I've had to ask two people to create Gmail accounts; as I mentioned in the summer homework meeting, and I believe in the assignment itself, Gmail works better than Yahoo or any other email service on Blogger.  Blogger is a Google service, as is Gmail.

Six others received invitations this afternoon.  Welcome, and again, thank you everyone for your exquisitely polite email requests, and your patience with me during a busy time of year.

I am working on my summer reading list, and my calendar of summer goals.  One of my most important goals this summer is to get 8-9 hours of sleep per 24-hour cycle.  I'm trying to train myself to sleep more and to sleep better.  It's a worthy pursuit.
