You ever have one of those times when you really think you are onto something deep and meaningful, but when you come back to finish it you're clueless about what the deep, meaningful thing was?
Yeah, it's like that.
OK, so the good news: My brain age as of my last test was 33, which I feel like I can live with.
The Bad news: I really thought I had an insight into contentment that went beyond the bloom-where-your-planted, play-the-cards-your-dealt, when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-lemonade variety of folksy, albeit cheesy, wisdom. But alas, it is lost in the abyss which once was a sharp and finely honed instrument, otherwise known as Ron's brain. (Heavy sigh.)
Should that thought ever make its way to the surface again, I promise you'll be the first hundred people (give or take) that I will tell.
In the meantime, students come back to college this weekend. Yippee!! No, really, I'm not being sarcastic. I love our students. They're the best. They rock. They're awesome. They. . . ok, sorry. . . you get the idea. Anyway, lot of stuff going on in the next few days. Getting people settled in. Getting the new students, a good size group I might add, oriented to Cliff life. Figuring out what I'm going to teach. You know, little things like that.
So, for those of you who do bother to read my ramblings and rantings, I may be gone for a week or so. But don't give up on me. I really will be back. Unlike other times when I said I'd be back in a week or so and it was months. (I'm still working on the honesty thing.)
Take care of yourselves.
Peace.
ron

Hey Ron! I finally remembered to find you on the world wide web. I really don't have the right to comment on your not posting (see my blog); but if you do so soon, maybe I'll give you a link so my five readers can get to know you! Wish we could have had more time in MD. Hope y'all are well!

2 days until the 1-month anniversary of your last post. 20 days until November, the tongue-in-cheek gauntlet casually dropped in distant glory that was September. Ahh, Ron. My brother, you are the Master of Anticipation.

I was just about to post something similar to Dave's. :-) Oh...and...sorry for the loss to Penn State...no...really...I am. Well, maybe not as much as I should be since a kid that I "taught" my first year was the guy that sacked your QB...:-P Love ya'.

I can hardly wait for your "next week" post. November can't get here quickly enough. ;)
Love you, Bro'
