Well, The Sabbatical is reaching a mid-point. No, we are still way before the quantitative half point. But we have reached a point where certain things are wrapping, and already the conclusion needs to be given serious consideration.

Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
The past week plus some has been a blur -- or more accurately a rash -- of things. Mostly, it has been the rash of undetermined origins, that blurred and occupied the time between work shifts. It is amazing how a severe rash can have you lying still, or in a slightly tossing state, for … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
Sabbatical Update: The World Turned Upside Down
Right now I don't even know what number day today is in my self-proclaimed sabbatical year.

I have been able to walk the dog each morning, get my Bible reading and blog post done. I have also managed some leisure reading by the end of the day.
