Bud the Teacher

        I spent my weekend with some of the fine folks from the Colorado State University Writing Project, affectionately known as the CSUWP.  We went up into the mountains on a writing retreat to enjoy some time together spent socializing and writing.  I took the opportunity to begin drafting  some of my thoughts about a blogging policy for my school district.  I also took some time to do some personal writing which had absolutely nothing to do with teaching.  That was a nice break.
        I also managed to develop a full blown cold.  Yuck.  Thankfully, I have Monday off so that I can recover and dig into some of the thinking that I read just before the weekend.
