Day to day life as a retiree, dedicated runner, avid gardener, reader, and a fearless cook.

Here is my Pin Oak. It has a scrawny trunk no thicker than the bamboo stakes that hold it up. It's leaves are turning yellow, the Asian Pear behind it is still green.
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.
