The Blog is Back

Now that the summer is fast coming to an end, and fall semester duties loom, I'm returning to the blog. I'm not sure why I've neglected it for lo these many months; perhaps it's inertia, for which my BlogMother, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, would surely rap my knuckles. There's a lot to catch up on. I'll try to post at least weekly with news and comments relating to English department doings. To any of you who have tried to log in and been frustrated by the lack of news, I apologize. But expect several entries to crop up soon, including graduation pics and the introduction of Esther Jones, our African-American specialist and newest member of the department.
I was finally able to publish, though, the announcement I wrote a couple of weeks ago about Bill Tapply's death. Rest in peace, Bill.

He Jay,

what ever happened to the "weekly news and comments relating to the English department doings"? Additionally, I am playing with the thought to come out of the closet and reveal my identity and ask you for credentials to be an official contributor (although my identity is really not hidden in a professional way). Anyway, I will be back in touch with a topic -- are polemics ok? (they are so much fun!)

Cheers&Beers,

CL
