Why is this blog not so current? September 19, 2007

What a tumultuous time the last 9 months have been…
I haven’t kept my blog up to date as I:
- nearly died in mid July due to an anaphylaxis reaction to nuts that were hiding in a
nutbiscuit (much like a trojan horse hiding in a file, there was a trace of a nut in a biscuit that I ate and my body started to go into a shutdown mode - there’s the computer link for today) while away on school camp and it has taken a while to deal with all the related stresses, mental anguish, mood swings it causes. A note for all educators - listen to any parent who says that their child is allergic to whatever and take the time to find out what precautions to take and what needs to be done if there is an accident - initiated a blogging event at work with over 100 people attending with James Farmer keynoting and several friends presenting (Jo, Graeme, Helen, Paul) more later
- almost finished renovating our house in every other spare minute I had
- working on other projects outside of school
I don’t want this blog to be old and stale and I have many ideas to keep presenting in time, but for the moment, I’m continuing to work on other projects

Joseph, the event you engineered was awesome and it certainly was great to have a meal with yourself and Warrick afterwards. Blogging takes time to do properly and blogging just for the sake of it can be counter-productive. Hope that your health remains good and when things calm down (even slightly) we see more of your thoughts out in the edublogosphere.
A very open and personal post Joseph, it was lovely to see you happy and healthy at the VITTA conference at IGS. We never seem to get the time to have a good chat though. I always ‘pop’ in to your blog to see what you have been doing and have missed your posts of late. Good luck with the renovations.
