Update on the status of the blog

 If you are a long time reader of this blog you will have noticed that I have not posted anything in almost six months and that I posted less frequently than usual in the past couple of years.  The reason for this is that I have been slowly moving toward retirement and that I have started to spend more time on other courses I teach and on projects that I want to pay attention to in the near future.

I have been posting my comments here for more than 15 years which is longer than the average lifespan of most blogs.  Now it is time for me to start to cut back a little and manage my time more efficiently.  I will continue to post commentary from time to time but, more than likely, not very frequently.  

I started this blog as a way to provide my students access to stories from the news related to what we cover in class, but which we did not have time to discuss in the classroom.  Essentially, it was meant to provide supplementary readings.  Slowly but surely, however, people other than my students started to pay attention and eventually I had more “outside” readers than students following the posts.  

I want to thank each and every one of you for following the blog, reading the stories, and for sending me materials to comment on and messages of support and criticism.
