A Return to the Blogosphere?

It's been a couple of years now since I closed my old blog... and I've been considering starting a new one for a while. It's been a difficult year, being so far away from my family, in a field where I work with really tough kids, the bus crash back in January, and Mom's cancer. I think it will be therapeutic to write. I've missed having a spot to pour out my thoughts, as well as to post things of interest, Facebook just doesn't cut it for that purpose anymore.
So that's that. Here I am. We'll see how this goes.
