Well,  my friends, a new season is upon us; Daylight Savings Time is gone, Halloween, over and we are in the deep fall of the year. The wollybears are nestling in for the winner, the last of the flowers, the tomatoes and the leaves of our Maples, are all gone, fallen to the frost and the shortening days.  

I love the melancholy smell of fall, rife with the lost promise of summer, yet laden with the advent of the season to come, of wood fires in the back room, and late season camping trips, of Christmas and the deep cold of January.

In the classroom, the work is leveling out, and production is in full swing, students are bending to their assignments, photography classes are in their first field shoot, the intro classes are getting deep into vector based illustration, and my gaming class is, I feel at last, on a solid footing. 

They are getting into their flash animations pretty well, and they and I are learning to blog. 

I must say as, a generally private person, I am still having a difficult time with this public sharing of thoughts and processes. I generally avoid the phone, and manage to ignore E-Mail unless it's a really important one that I absolutely must answer. I really like people and prefer my personal interactions face to face. And yet, I am absolutely fascinated by technology, where it is leading us, and generally, I can't wait for us to arrive. 

I know, this is a dichotomy that I must learn to reconcile, and perhaps this blog is a means towards that end.

As is always true in life, time will tell.
