Hello again!

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth - I have just been VERY busy with my job and other activities. Quite a few people have expressed disappointment at my absence and have urged me to return to blogging. My time is limited, but I will try to check in more frequently. No discussion of politics, though -- that would not be wise in my current position.

I spend my working hours here and am finding the job to be rewarding and challenging. My sixteen years of experience on the policy side of local government is serving me very well in this position. I'm expanding my knowledge base here along with 89 other county and municipal staff persons from all over North Carolina. So far, I have resisted the urge to wear my "Wolfpack Red" while on campus. {smile}
