I wanted to do a 10 minute story, but last night’s tech issues had me pretty shook. See, I kept having to reload the page in order to get the words to scroll down. Part of the problem, I think, is the new way the layout propagates text boxes. It separates text into a new box after each click on the return button. I like to play with my paragraphs, so it caused me quite the headache yesterday and ate up a fair amount of the time I had on page. I’m going to feed the problem today by talking about it; spending my time up the way I lost it last time but far more willingly. Besides, I’ve noticed that I stumble through tech nightmares a lot faster if I vocalize the problem. In this case the problem is how to maintain a sense of form without applying paragraphs. <about to hit return here so wish me luck>
In other words, no ‘some thoughts section’ and perhaps no text at all past the next six sentences or so. In that time I can tell you what a great time I am having. Beyond a ton of grading I get to go out with my girl, watch the Iowa v. Iowa State game, and even take a nap should time allow. I certainly need the last one, because last night was about getting these younger boys cleaned up. I’m tired and still managing a ton of hopefulness. It is going to be a good day.
