A sabbatical

[merrylander]

Good morning, I trust that everyone is well, I just dropped in to let y'all know what has happened and what the future is to be, at least my future. I was amazed at how much work I have accomplished since I left. I also discovered a few things.

Watching the PBS Newshour they had three "experts" explaining what is wrong with schools and I near about died laughing. It seems that because the girls are smarter this puts the boys at a disadvantage. Also boys are so physically active they simply cannot sis still for extended periods.

Excuse me; I know women are smart; I live with a very accomplished woman. But I do not recall ever being unable to sit still for two or three hours. It dawned on me these people had come up with theories and were looking for facts to support them. That was when it occurred to me that here in PC some of our resident experts poo poo other's actual hands on experience in favor of some theory.

Another aspect of what is happening is the reductio ad absurdum form most arguments take as well as the apparent willingness of the debate to cause reduction in good manners and I was as guilty as any. But it was Mike's rude response to Barbara's recounting of what was her personal experience. Now I sort of know Mike, he has a lovely wife and three lovely daughters and his recent behavior is out of character. Still as opinionated as ever though.
So finding that I am getting a lot done on my novel, and realizing that I certainly am not getting any younger I shall take a sabbatical from PC and see about finishing it before Mother Nature finishes me. I would leave my email but I fear there are those here who would delight in mail bombing me so I shant do that. I wish you all well (believe it or not).
