Taking Off

Several times I have thought about blogging.  When I lived oversees, I actually started one so that I could document my adventures.  Unfortunately, I was so obsessed with archival research that I stopped after just one post, unable to put the energy into it.

I follow several different kinds of blogs--fashion, travel, fitness, history, academic.  But what drives me?  Where does my passion lie?  After much thought, I have decided to blog about what consumes most of my life--history.  I teach history. I research history.  I live in history that is made everyday.  So, I want to talk about my adventures in teaching, reading, researching, and struggling to understand my own place in world history. 

I am unsure how often I will post, but I am aiming for at least once a week.
