peach-blackberry.

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Oh, I know I’ve been absent from the blog.  It’s not just the blog.  I’ve been absent from everything.  There was the school year, all that grading to be done, and then WisCon, and then I went to Colorado to grade AP exams, and then the end of the school year, including even more grading, [...]
