Just went through this whole blog--I am collecting hobbies

I used to write more and better than I do today. Being Chair for the department set me back. That is an excuse. I don't know what else to say, though--it feels like the truth. But I think I am back where I started. I know I need to write more. This is as good a place to do it as any. My first post states that not many will read this and I am curious to see who will discover it. Almost 15 years later I post again at a time when almost no one I know keeps a blog, and noone I know goes to blogspot. I wondered at the time who would read my posts. I wonder that again. Once again I will be taking students to Germany--for the first time since the covid pandemic hit. Maybe I can spend time writing there like I did in the past. I need to reflect more. I need to scroll less. Once again I am writing about Peter Handke. He is problematic. He is unpopular with many. He makes me think. I think he is not who others think he is. We will see where that gets me. This blog missed my bowyer phase. I haven't given it up, but I haven't done much with it. Here is a picture to see if I can upload images.

Here is a link of me but I can't get it to format the way I want it to. If I write a whole bunch of nonsense here it might move the video down a bit so it doesn't overlap with the other image. The bow, the arrows and the quiver (as well as the target off screen) are all made by me. shooting to see if that works too. Here is another airplane video also

and a video of me playing the piano that has nothing to do with any of my earlier posts. I seem to collect hobbies. Did I mention also got a lathe recently? The bowls on the piano were turned by me (as well as the lamp--but in the 8th grade).
