THOUGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR MY SOCKS TO DRY

Here is a conglomeration of random thoughts about education, leadership, new ideas, and lessons that life has taught me. You’ll probably even see a sports take or two. I’m not looking to change the universe, but crazier things have happened! I don’t know if two or two million people will read these words, but at least I can say that I’m attempting to push myself by blogging.

As for the title of this blog, the derivation comes from my senior year in high school. I was the sports editor on The Surveyor–the school newspaper at Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, IA. My final column in the last edition of that year’s paper was written (with pen on paper, mind you) in the basement laundry room at home while the dryer was tumbling away. So, when that column went to print, it went under the title of “A few thoughts while waiting for some sweaty socks to dry.” That article (scroll down to read it) was a random grouping of memories and opinions about what occurred that school year of 1991-92. Just like this blog.
