2010 WAS A BUST...MOSTLY OF MY OWN DOING...

Brief entry here necessitated by circumstances still in flux over what happened to my teaching career with the Flint Schools. After 39 years I have been transferred to another high school in Flint. Imagine this happening after spending over 22 years at Southwestern Academy.

Everything's on hold for now. Sick leave is not fun, by any stretch of the imagination. And missing out on that Rollins College study gig was huge. I stayed in Flint and finished studying with my Flint colleagues in a history program that covered three years. Loyalty is important, 'eh? The travel back to South Africa will also have to take a back seat to what the rest of 2010 brings forth. Suddenly I'm feeling pretty lonely and isolated from a "routine" that became very comfortable. But teaching at Flint S.W.Academy was anything but routine.

Like stated above, there will more added to this sad narrative at a later date. As they say: the truth shall be known.

Life is too short to dwell on negatives--especially one of this magnitude. And when one gets to be my age, life is very short. In retrospect, I gave far too much to my teaching career and family lost out on that deal. We'll see where we go from here, John... Whatever you do, don't count me out of the game of life. I'll be back and in full strength...perhaps adding new projects to this blog. Time will tell...
