All of our yesterdays

Here's what I wrote over on the old College server I've been using for my WordPress blog for years now:  
While my academic blog has not been the most active creature in the sea, I still wish to maintain it. The server on which the blog currently sits is getting fairly old, however, and there are no plans to replace it with a new one. Given that it holds our record-keeping database for the SLCC Student Writing Center, I think I would prefer to free up some space on the server and move my blog off site to a blogger.com blog. At least in moving to blogger, I won’t be forced into upgrading WordPress ever week or so (I’m not kidding.) Maintaining PeerCentered on blogger.com has been relatively worry-free, after all.
The new spot is clintgardner.blogspot.com. Eventually I will auto-forward from this page to it. I’m still contemplating being all ego-maniacal and buying up clintgardner.org while it is up for grabs.
Long may she wave.


And yes, I do notice there is some WP code artifacts that didn't convert.  I doubt that I will ever be inspired enough by the blog to go back and clean it up.

I’m looking at my yellow notepad on which I’ve scrawled “NCPTW 2018” at the top.  Yes, I do still primarily draft by hand, even though I have handwriting that would put even the most diehard pharmacist to the test.  I’ve written a note to myself, lest I forget, “START WITH SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL” in all caps.  And now, as I’m actually typing this into my computer I’m asking myself why? As a rhetorical device, starting with a controversial statement is, most likely, meant to rile your audience up--get them to pay attention.  I don’t know about you, but I’m a little weary these days of the controversial--the attention-grabbing.
Ok, so in case you were wondering, my “controvers…

2019 RMWCA Conference Address

First of all, I want to thank Justin and all the folks in the Colorado Wyoming Writing Tutor Conference for their excellent job in organizing the conference this year.  The workshop sessions yesterday were evocative and gave me a lot to think about. I’m looking forward to the sessions today.
Secondly, out on a table near registration you will find stickers [hold up stickers] and buttons [show off button] for the National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing and International Writing Centers Association joint conference in Columbus, Ohio held from October 16th to the 19th next fall.  I encourage you all to adapt your presentations here at TutorCon or propose new ones for that conference.  Also, keep and eye out for travel grant opportunities, and don’t let he  price tag deter you from proposing. Our region represents some of the most innovative writing center work in the world. 
Finally, I bring greetings from the Rocky Mountain Writing Centers Association.  It has been a banner year…
