Of broken thoughts and "ferris wheel rescue"

I guess I ought to try out this Ning blog, although I have my own already at Off the Mark.

I figured I'd begin by attempting to explain the [dang, what is it called] thing on my profile page that is the same as the title of this post.

I do keep up with your blogs and Things-Read, and hope to continue to do so while overseas. Hopefully I'll be able to track you down in the fall, I'm taking Cataloging, Collection Development and Searching Online Information Systems...so I'll be there for a while! All the best...

I've almost got school paid for now, which is a great feeling. I am somewhat militant about staying out of debt. :)
