Mark's Blog

Well, there's nothing more important these days than a web presence, so here's mine. (Or at least one of them!)

Name:
Location: Greensboro, North Carolina, United States

I have been a reference librarian in Greensboro for 38 years, an Ultimate Frisbee player for almost 43 years, and a collector (of diverse sorts of things, including stamps, triceratopses (sp?), frisbees and books) for most of my life. And I have been a husband for over 12 incredibly happy years.

And so it begins . . .

And not just for me this time.  As I start my 65th semester at UNCG, my grandson Jonas begins his first day in kindergarten. I hope to hear about it soon, maybe even later today. Since I cannot remember my first day of kindergarten, or my first day of grad school for that matter, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say.  (Fortunately, he has friends at his school, and in his class, so that should make it easier.)

Meanwhile my other grandson Atticus is now 13 months old, and running around everywhere. I can keep up with him for now, but who knows how much longer that will be true !

As for school at UNCG, I think I will once again survive.  I have new responsibilities working with the Lloyd International Honors College including office hours in the new honors dorm, just down the street from the library. They set up a "fancy" (new?) Mac for me, but someone stole the cord to the mouse, so I don't know how I will be able to use it.    (;->>   I met with the incoming class (190 or so!) last weekend and most of them got most of my jokes (or "jokes") so I am encouraged. The daughter of one of my old frisbee teammates is on the honors dorm, so I will know one person at least.
