A-Z: Up to the Challenge


It's Spring Break here in the desert, so feeling pretty good on a Monday. It's also St. Patrick's Day, but despite being a proud Irishman, I don't get too revved up on the 17th. I'm more than happy to let everyone else get their Irish on, so if you're so inclined, I hope you enjoy a nice beverage or two today.

I haven't been posting much on the blog over the last year, but I've never thought about stopping altogether. I've been focusing on work, and this teaching thing is pretty demanding if you do it right.

April is almost here, and that means it's time for the A-Z Blogging Challenge. The current state of my blog suggests I'm not up to posting 26 times in a single month, but I've done the Challenge the last 3 years, and I am not one to break with tradition easily. So as soon as I'm done with this post, I'm off to sign up. I did a movie theme last year, but I'm going back to random. Since it's Spring Break, I'm going to try to write as many letters as possible this week to make things more manageable come April.

If you want to sign up, click on the big ol' badge. Hope to see you around the Challenge.

  1. Well, happy St. Paddy's Day, Mr. O'Riley.

    And good luck with the A to Z. Part of me wants to do it, and part of me isn't sure I should get that deeply involved on the blog during revisions. I should go figure it out over a pint. :P

  4. I am not that disciplined. Now if the challenge was a different wine for 26 days then count me in.

  8. Hi Tim! Came by to check out your blog after you visited mine, and I am glad to follow you! So you are a teacher? What grade level? I taught elementary for 14 years in various capacities, and now I teach college level.

    Again, thanks for coming by and best to you in the challenge! I'm like you - I'm not sure I can pull off 26 posts but am willing to try. Let's do this!
