Comment on Be careful what you pray for ...

Peter,
Want you to know that I really appreciated that you took the time to congratulate me on my first 200. It has been slow due to weather but I ran some stats and to date, 48.97% of the caches I have found have been ones that you have planted. You have really made life fun for me. I didn't realize until I saw a note somewhere about you having a busted leg that you were slightly incapacitated. Hope things get better. I also appreciate your introspection. Sorta been there a few times myself. Didn't handle it quite as well as you did either but the Good Lord brought me through it despite my hinderances. That was 19 years ago and my life changed dramatically as a result. Despite my foulups, God proved that He was still in charge. Hope your knee/leg mends smoothly. And watch the diabetes. I had Type II until my stomach bypass surgery. Now there are absolutely no symptoms!

Be Blessed

I'd suggest Blackboard for your first component. The new version this summer will offer email subscriptions to discussion boards as well as peer graded and/or instructor graded discussion participation. No, not as clean as an RSS feed, but it has a lot of great interactive components including: adaptive release of content, live voice/video/whiteboard/PowerPoint online webconferencing and presentations, automatic checking of submitted papers for plagiarism, online testing, course-level and individual-level access control to content, full integration with BANNER, and the world's greatest geocacher as your Academic Technology Consultant to help you make it all work the way you want! We are also adding a Journal component (blogging) and WIKI-style tool to Blackboard this summer. Blackboard is also fully integrated into BearSpace (WedDav file storage) and Bearcat (the library automation system including the electronic reserve system.) Blackboard was used by over 60% of the faculty and by 13237 students last Fall and the growth is mainly led by student demand.

Thanks for the kind words, John. As I said our friendships are are true treasure.

I'm sorry to hear about this situation, but will be praying that the medication does the trick.

I don't think I've been caching long enough to know about "the old days", but it was a nice drive out to that park and I really enjoyed the cache. Glad to see you are blogging now! Can't wait to subscribe.

I think it must have started working again, albeit very slowly.

Yes. Well, enjoy this entry. It seems to be the last one I will ever get to see in my BLOG.
