Well, it's taken me twenty summers to be ready to take this course. And every summer has taught me different things. One summer I set my watch (back when people still wore watches) to 00:00:00 so that every time I glanced at my wrist I'd remember to live in the moment--that was my New Age era. Another summer I rested in a hospital bed in my living room after a split-second of bad luck on Highway 7. Over a number of summers, chasing whatever my latest passion, I've taken courses in philosophy, neuropsychology, novel-writing, medicinal herbs, how to train your German Shepherd. One summer I helped my mom as she died. Most summers I help myself live.
So this is
this summer. Just creating this blog has already made me think about how I can do my Writer's Craft class better. And I've already emailed my colleagues (we are all middle-aged to old, and serious sharers) about how we could use a Course Blog to share material with our new incoming young teachers instead of our Course Shelf (yes, I mean a shelf in the English office).
Here's to whatever this summer's course of learning brings us all!

Hi Mel I am also in the course... wondering how you linked to Sakai? I am a complete newbee when it comes to tech stuff so am eager to learn. If you could let me know my blog is "Thesauramungalogic" and can be searched under H. Trull I think.
