There must be something wrong with me.  I completely forgot that I'd started this blog....my account has just been sitting here since 2009!!!!  Holy shit!  Well, what's happened since then... let's see.  Oh, I'm too tired to go into it now.  Especially to an audience of one.  I'll put it in twitterish terms:  Michael: doing GREAT - mainstreaming and going to the school for the deaf for kindergarten.  I will have to put up a video of him for "you."  I am also trying to work again on my book proposal for a CI book.  I"m teaching  a class on it, right now, actually -- it's been a great quarter.  We heard from Harlan Lane, had Peter Artinian (from Sound and Fury) visit our class and talk about his experiences making that film, and we had Michael Chorost last week talking about his memoir of CI, Rebuilt.  I'm on a new little think tank like group that is putting together ideas for creating a kind of CI cooperative here at RIT.  All kinds of exciting things.  I long for community.  Facebook hasn't worked out.  CI moms don't want to talk to me.  I have a hard time making friends so maybe something in my demeanor is turning people off.  Maybe CI moms don't want a community.  I'll have to talk to Laura Mauldin about that on Monday!!!
