Hello, friends. We’re leaving May behind and swinging into June. Things have been a lot. Still, the end of the school year quickly approaches and I’m there for it. So. Much. So. Because if what I’ve witnessed is any indication, next year will be even worse. But I’ll have my stories. Thank goodness that there’s…

Hello, friends. This past week…I know, I know. I say it every week in this space. But this one… This past week was special. Dad is in the hospital as I write this but he’s fine. A recent doctor’s appointment found something that needs fixing and, unfortunately, the three day weekend is making what should…

Hello, friends. Are you sick of me mentioning the past week has been busy? Not only am I sick of writing it, but I’m sick of having them. This coming week will be more of the same with appointments for my father, for me, and other things. The only thing I’m really looking forward to…

Hello, friends and happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate! Another busy week which will lead to other busy weeks this month. I feel spread so thin that you can see right through me! Welcome to the 172nd installment of Gauthic Times, the newsletter about my writing, my life, and appreciation. If you’re a reader…

Hello, friends. This past week was strange in that it somehow dragged while still moving quickly. It was busy with two nights honoring G, one for poetry and another academically, and the typical return-to-school-after-vacation silliness. Welcome to the 171st installment of Gauthic Times, the newsletter about my writing, my life, and thinking about alternative histories…

Hello, friends. Spring vacation is over and now the last 2+ months of school remain. There’ll be holidays and such, but there’ll be other things that are exclusive to teaching in the 21st century that are not as fun. Either way, writing full-time won’t resume again until the end of June (except for weekends) which…

Hello, friends. Spring vacation has sprung and I, apparently, am going to use clichés now. Perhaps it’s because Rome wasn’t built with a cliché, but I’m not thrilled by it. It’s the opening I have, though, and—like many of my students approach their work—I don’t feel like revising it, so you’re stuck with it. I’m…

Hello, friends. I got through last week only mildly skinned and singed. Meetings and meetings that were like puppet shows and lots of trying to catch up on stuff. This week will also be busier than I’d like, with a work-related day trip on Tuesday and then an after school meeting on Wednesday (that’s really…

Hello, friends. This past week was a nice short one thanks to Good Friday and having to take my 13-year-old for a medical appointment an hour or so away. This coming week…brrrr. The Day Job will be trying, I’m sure. Meetings and what I suspect will be annoying things coming from all angles. But the…

Hello, friends. This week was somewhat trying at the Day Job. Not entirely surprising if you’ve read these weekly updates but it still gets under the skin. I spent a few days with headaches from clenching my jaw and suspect there’ll be more of that in the coming week or so. On the bright side,…
