A blog about writing, teaching, opinions, being surrounded by bright young things...and trying to make sense of our lives
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Hello, all. Today we embark on a wonderful adventure in our journalism class. We're going to be using our blogs to have a deep and meaningful conversation about opinion writing. You know what they say about opinions. They're like assholes. Everybody's got one.
I'm late to this blogging thing, but what the heck. This (teaching writing) is the third act of my life. The first was a bizarre stint in a religious commune in the early 70s (which I write about in my memoir, "So Late, So Soon"), the second was my career as a journalist (about 17 years), and finally this mid-life thing as a teacher at a small liberal arts college in Ohio, of all places. I'm married to a sweet man, the mother of a college-aged son, and my life is full of books, animals, young people, and trees.
