Yep, I have been on a long Christmas hiatus from the old blog world!!!  Interestingly enough it started when I finally broke through an almost two month period of writer’s block.  Yes indeed, “writer’s block” affects academic authors just as it affects best sellers in the fiction and nonfiction world.  So what does writer’s block have to do with NOT writing the blog.  I was so thrilled to be writing my own work again that it became an all consuming passion over the past four weeks (along with taking off time to be with spouse and son over the holidays).  My priorities were, family first, keep the journal engine moving second, and enjoy being able to write again third!  Everything else got blocked.

But as the old saying goes “baby I’m back and it feels so good!!!” more anon.
