Lacking Inspiration

I just haven't been inspired to write here lately. Although I had every intention of adding an article about our last magnificent day on Kauai, I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Beyond that, politcally oriented writing just doesn't interest me much at the moment (neither do political blogs, for that matter). I don't really want to mix the historical / education blogging with the older politcal items too much, due to the ongoing concerns in Academia that blogging has potentially negative effects for your career.

The career issue does affect all industries, however, there is so much competition in academia right now, it doesn't make much sense to call attention to things that might be damaging. I think that I will shut this place down this summer and setup a new history / academic blog that I've already reserved the domain name for. I expect to work on that in July / August, so stay tuned.
