"Those who can't do teach..."

Please, fellow instructors, understand the toungue-in-cheek intent in that statement (I just find that I am happiest when I refuse to take myself too @#$% seriously and choose, rather, to experience, exemplify, and motivate behaviors that optimize effectiveness and joy). Having said that, I am laughing at myself because my last few posts were about the importance of keeping up regular blog posts, and here I am, 6 months beyond my most recent post, finally with a new addition. A somewhat obligatory one, since I am now, for the first time, leading (and following) the blogs of about 16 students, and requiring regular posts from them! Do as I say, not as I do, apparently, is the message being transmitted from my end. Funny. ; )
