So much for the plans of mice and men

In truth I knew that there was a risk, that I would get distracted, or forget, or not have (or find) the time to send stuff to this place of memories and observations. Since my burst of trial blogs it’s now been almost a year since I added ‘stuff’ here. One of the truthes is that I think I sometimes try too hard. I think I try to associate my words with too many ‘interesting’ (at least to me) things (like photos or links to other sites, etc.) such as this explanation about “mice and men” (and this one too .. ). In the process it takes too much time and falls by the wayside, amongst all those other things that once caught my attention but didn’t keep it. I put it down to an excessive curiosity, which means I am susceptible to things ‘catching my eye’ and leading me up several paths at once. My energy/time resources aren’t able to keep up and certain things have to go. This blog ‘went’. But the time has come to revive myself and these pages. It isn’t just by chance, it’s because I’m about to start a new adventure, in a part of the world I have long wanted to know better, “Black Africa” (or more politically correctly known as Sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so I am temporarily leaving my work as an English teacher in Bogota, but I am leaving with a promise, namely to at lerast npow and then write about what’s happening so that my students can take part in the adventure and write to me in English i.e. as ongoing English skills practice! Oh, and in teh process I am going to try out a new (to me) piece of software that will let me write off-line (I am assuming that I will not have online access to this blog as often as I’d like). It’s called Zoundry Raven and seems as if it will be what I need to keep me contributing, at least for a while. Hmm, maybe I should have called this piece “Of Mice and Ravens” …
