Tihs blog has existed for 5 years as of this week. My first entry was on February 28th, 2003. Oddly enough, I will be traveling on that date. I’m hoping to have time to write a good blog entry on the plane, and post it before I get on the ship. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I started this blog a few months after being diagnosed with diabetes, and the primary reason I started the blog was because I wanted to get better at writing and I needed a topic to write about. Also, I teach computer science and I find myself on many different computers during the day, and having information about my diabtes on the internet was helpful. WhenI need some information, i can just do a search on the website, and don’t have to keep track of the data.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ve never really meant it for others — though i have been considering opening up a bit. I rarely participate in activities designed to build links — basically I’ve believed that if you need something here, you’ll find it. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lately though, I’ve been wondering if I should reach out more in my life…. There are lots of reasons for me to feel that way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By the way, you can track my diabetes control on how active I am here — when it is not good and I can’t get it together, I don’t post much. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lately part of the problem is that I try not to blog at school — even though I do have some time periods when my students are working on projects, and I’m basically staying out of their way so they can get something done. If I talk to much, I take up their time, plus they don’t listen to me. Usually on the first few days of a project, they don’t need me. In fact, if I do a good teaching job, they shouldn’t need me at all through the project, but that never happens. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m also working on a website for the district so that does take up a lot of my time, both during school AND after school. <\/p>\n

This lately blogging has been very sporatic, but I’m hoping it will get better soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
