Welcome to my blog!

The name comes from the Old English word (sabat), which comes to us through Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. It's origin is "to rest", and is etymologically connected to Sabbath and Sabbatical. It seemed appropriate... given my current time of transition. This blog allows a place for personal reflection, shares my whereabouts and happenings, but most importantly - it is a vehicle for your reactions to my submissions. My hope is that, as a group, we have a running dialog pertaining to those things that really matter.

I promise to read each post, but please know that replies may be sporadic and/or delayed. For my plans in the near-future will frequently have me "out of pocket", or I may just need to escape the day-to-day deluge of electronic ping pong . But feel free to submit a post. We are all traveling together on this journey to understand, called life; and each perspective is important.

Let's keep in touch as we share the journey!

Be well,

Sam

Visiting Schools

Greetings All,

I apologize for the blogging hiatus... it's been a bit busy.

I had the good fortune of being able to present to some school children recently.  First as Johnny Appleseed for the A. T. Allen kindergartners.  What a treat!  Thanks Ms. Snipes for inviting me.


Then... there was the annual tradition of a Jack Tale and The Great Pumpkin with the Mt. Pleasant Middle School sixth graders.  As always - it was a great pleasure!


Book cover from Richard Chase's original recording of these tales.


Oh, where are you Great Pumpkin?

It was really good to be around the kids again.  I miss them, and the dedicated teachers, terribly.
