Today I sent out this invitation to a select group of people to visit my blog.
Hi Mom, Janet, Marcel, Patty, Trent, and Nathan. A little while ago I started an online journal, or blog, about my life living in Seoul, and teaching overseas. So far I haven’t invited anyone to look at it (not even Gin), but then it occurred to me that it might be a good way to stay in touch and feel connected to people. My mom seems interested in whatever is happening in my life, and Janet, Marcel and I had fun blogging together a couple years ago. As both an experienced teacher and my aunt, Patty has helped me with advice in the past. Nathan and Trent are relatively young teachers, and I value their insight and perspective on teaching (and life in general).
So, I invite you to come check out my blog and maybe even leave a comment or two. http://lamonte-bird.com/blog/
Thanks,
Richard
I would love if they stopped by regularly, but I don’t really expect them to. Really, is my life that interesting? It doesn’t seem so. Maybe when we leave Korea and start a new adventure somewhere else, or when we travel to some far-off country like Mongolia again, things will seem more worthy of note.
But wait. Actually, if I reversed the situation, ya I think I would like to learn about my friends and family’s lives. Did you know that Janet has an online business selling dyed wool batts? (Not to be confused with died whole bats) So, for Mom, Janet, Marcel, Patty, Trent, and Nathan, if you want to, I’ll help you set up your own blog. You might already have one, who knows? Janet did, but it seems to be dead now. Trent, make a blog of all the new things Quynne does. Nathan, join me in reflecting on teaching and learning and stuff, and make our professors proud.
Thinking of you all!
Richard
