A few years ago I stumbled across a journal from high school. I didn’t remember ever keeping a journal in high school, but there it was. The only reason I still had it was that decades ago I’d tossed it into the small plastic case where I keep select pieces of personal correspondence and other unpublished writings.

When I leafed through this old journal, I came across an entry where I’d written that I wanted to be a college professor and an author. This too I do not remember. In fact, it surprised me, as my undergraduate years were an extended period of youthful indecision. I’d even dropped out of school for a short time, because I grew tired of flitting from one major to the next.

Still I ended up with a career as a college professor, and for thirty years I taught in Asia and the American Midwest. Now, in retirement and at the age of seventy, I am putting professorship aside and focusing on the second of my two long-held aspirations. Part of this effort is writing a blog. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to regularly read my weekly entries.
