Face, exposed

Don’t know if you’ve wondered, but I sure have. Where did these new blogs come from all of the sudden? A couple have gotten quite a bit of press in the last few weeks. I had a name for one blog - the Colorado Index - and credit him with getting me off of my […]

New to me

Who knew? With bloggers posting on multiple sites sometimes it takes me a while to find them. Turns out RMA’s own Ben DeGrow also writes for a great education site called edspresso. Add it to your list - it’s now a daily read for me.

Okay, okay

I give!
So I’ll post already. How do you like the new digs? Thank John - he’s the one that set it up for me. I’d planned on tweaking the CSS a bit to … well, because that’s what you do, isn’t it? But let’s face it, if I haven’t had time to write lately I’m hardly […]

Near Disaster

Okay, so I take a little time off. That doesn’t mean that exvigilare has been abandoned! Sure, sure, I expect that the posts end up rolling off of the main page after a few weeks..or more.
What I didn’t count on was 1&1’s 3-year freebie expiring during the middle of it. I waited ’till the […]

Nepal

The Larsons have arrived in Nepal safely. Keep tabs on The Greasy Rag for updates on their 2 week trip. They’re “travelling with a team of 5 people to work with the ServLife children’s center and to host a Women’s Conference in one of the poorest regions of Nepal.” Stop by and give them a […]

Up and running

I’m back. I know you were both desperate to find out where I’ve been.

Regular blogging to begin again […]

Finally

I needed a vacation. More accurately, I needed a vacation from my vacation. Last weekend we decided to take a road trip to Buena Vista (just fyi - don’t say “b-way-na vista” or they’ll make fun of you. Its “be-yoona vista.” No, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either, I’m just giving you a […]
