About Eremitic Life

Welcome to Eremitic Life 2.2, a near-complete reboot [on 01 Nov 2008] of this site due to a series of unfortunate events. Many of the previous posts did not come back with the restructuring. But some did. Some might still return later.

In any case, this is still my home away from home. This is still where I keep my thoughts, some of my papers, and a few pictures here and there. It is most definitely still my record of the ups and downs and daily life challenges as I wander from one end of the educational spectrum to the other.

I should warn you, though: this blog does, in fact, have graceful rain showers here and there scattered among a bit of spring flowers that are punctuated with thunderstorms and summer heat waves. Sometimes we enjoy the time to splash around being silly. Other times it seems like there is a threat of drowning. It’s all good. It’s all an experience. It’s all still growing and evolving. It’s all life. And it’s never simple.
