My life was quietly hectic in the days leading up to Christmas, much work and many hard decisions about which long-time possessions to keep and move to a new home, which to give away, and which to discard as junk. I’m not complaining, I volunteered for the assignment and could have chosen to forego the entire experience.
However, because of the headlong rush to get a dwelling of 33 years ready for the market, I overlooked noting the 14th anniversary of COTTonLINE which fell on Dec. 22. In the lack of significant public events that traditionally characterizes this year-end holiday period, I now have time to remedy that oversight.
When one has had a ready-made audience and platform, as I had for 30 years in academia, the absence of that outlet for one’s opinions and observations leaves a hole in one’s life. COTTonLINE has remedied that lack.
Thank you for coming along for the adventure, the ups and downs we’ve chronicled. We hope to continue this blog into the coming years, how many more is up to forces not under my control.
