The strange chronology of a daily blog

I have been stockpiling blog posts in my mind for a week now. Several things conspired to interrupt their flow to the Internet. For one thing the ire of one Denfeld teacher gave me pause. I regretted that I publicly drew attention to one of two teachers who made themselves vulnerable by bringing forth the concerns of many other Denfeld teachers. I left my self flagellation for this on my blog to attone for this. But, as readers saw yesterday, my self criticism only extends so far. It does not extend to any other School Board member who takes it upon themselves to jump on the dog pile I started.

My other distraction is the renovation of my attic. At the moment I have its contents stuffed in my basement and in two bedrooms. Finding my old filed documents is difficult and workers are coming in and out of the house. We are in the middle of foaming insulation on the attic floor. Soon it will be sheet rocking. Its keeping me and my vacuum cleaner busy.

The most important post for the day today (which I have yet to write) relates to the banner headline “Nevermind” on the front page of the News Tribune. For my literalist readers I suppose I have to explain that the nevermind is meant to be ironic. We were told a year and a half ago that our elementary schools were due for massive overcrowding.

I will blogging things as they occur to me and not necessarily ranked in importance. That means in the layout of a blog that the first things will appear last as readers scroll down. That’s why I often leave a note in extended postings encouraging readers to go to the first in a succession of posts and read up. I won’t do that today. Most of my posts won’t be tied together in that kind of order.
