My Sabbatical
Dear readers and friends, please note that, early next week, I will be taking a brief “sabbatical” for travel and study. To insure the necessary “mental space” for my sabbatical, I will temporarily suspend my website, Facebook Account, and phone service. I plan to restart all of these at the conclusion of my time off in late February.
As I’m sure the reader will note, I’m using the term “sabbatical” figuratively. Traditionally, a sabbatical is a year long paid leave of absence granted to tenured professors in order to give them the opportunity to freely carry out research and study into topics of interest to them. It is a traditional privilege of tenure in academia. Now, although my sabbatical will have a similar purpose, it will likely be only three or four weeks in duration, and, sadly, unless something quite unexpected occurs, will not involve any type of salary. Hopefully my recompense will be in the realm of experience, thought, ideas and understanding. See you again in late February!
