 We've just finished the ultimate marathon of weddings -- 10 weddings in the last three weeks. Phew! It's one reason I've dropped away a bit as a blogger. But I'm happy to say we've made it through, and I'm a firm believer that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

 I love to play basketball. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to play not only with good players, but with a few professional players as well. This experience hasn't made me a pro-caliber player; however, it has helped me to realize my potential as a player. I'm not in the physical condition of my youth, but my improved understanding of the game has made me a better player than when I could jump above the rim.

 Grading student work is one of the most important, and most challenging, duties of being an educator. As one of my colleagues, Keith Kenney, recently reminded me, setting goals and evaluating our students' progress are what we as educators do -- they are the twin pillars supporting the entire education edifice.

As usual, I'd love to read your comments, whether you are an educator or a student.

 With the price of gas edging ever closer to the $5 per gallon mark (at least here in Connecticut), the cost of gas is really having a profound effect on summer travel plans and impromptu shooting trips. It can cost as much for a tank of gas now as it does for a night in a motel. It's nuts. And if you're shooting photos for a personal project or for your stock files, it's hard to justify expensive trips these days.

Too many people join associations as if they are buying tickets to a sporting event. They want to sit in their comfortable seats and watch others perform. When considering joining an organization, one of the first questions most people ask is, "What do I get for my membership?" That's a valid question, and most organizations list the benefits their members will receive.
