Old Man On Campus

Welcome back.  That's how it feels, too.  After 38 years away, I'm back on a college campus.  I was drafted, whipped into the Army, had a real life, and decided to pick up where I left off--a degree left hanging, waiting for real life to educate me, I've returned to Ohio State to finish things up.  My intention is to get my diploma and start Social Security the same day.  But the degree is important to me, so I'm back.  Why?  Why not, that's the question.  On this blog I'll post my ongoing impressions, anecdotes, observations, 'teaching moments', and much more about my new status as the Old Man On Campus.  For you other non-traditional students out there, welcome, and I'd love to hear your feedback.
A book in the works?   Why, yes, there is.  The title is, of course, Old Man On Campus--Senioritis and What To Do About It.  Memoir, in progress, and a new kind of literary endeavor: I intend to have the book write itself, with as Ringo Starr said, "A little help from my friends."
Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned.  I'll be signing off for a few days starting today.  It's finals week, and I gotta hit the books.
