Back from spring break
Cindy on April 4th, 2009

“Toto, I don’t think we’re in Michigan anymore….”
Jet-lagged and buried in vacation laundry, Doug and I are back from eight gorgeous days in southern California. After I get organized, I’ll be posting some of the highlights of our visit. In the meantime, it looks like I’ll need more than a weekend to get back to my southern Michigan routine. (My new three-week personal essay workshop also begins next week, so I’m excited about preparing for my new students.) While I was away, I truly missed everyone’s blogs and e-mails, and hope I can catch up sometime next week. Meanwhile, I hope spring has arrived, wherever you are! — CL P.S. While I was away, I forgot to post a link to this week’s Midpoint column in The Oakland Press. Thursday’s column is about reviving the art of the compliment in the age of sarcasm.

Hi Cindy, Have you thought about teaching personal essay writing online? I would love to take it.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone … and Diane, I will consider teaching my classes online sometime. For now, I am pretty booked with local events and classes. Maybe in the winter …Thanks for the suggestion! –CL
