Need to do a lot of work here on the blog yet, but I have been really busy lately: working on "normal" day-to-day stuff, tutoring Chemistry & Geometry to a HS Junior, and rebuilding a website I started 10 years ago.
About ready for bed now, but wanted to get the latest "kid-ism" from Tank posted before they fade to obscurity. He's still persisting in his reference to "Lightning The-Clean" but last week he discovered licorice and today I heard Fig Newtons for the first time:
Licorice = Liquid . . . (he really likes the red rope liquid best)
Fig Newtons = Fred Newtons . . . (I really tried hard not to laugh, honest.)

Slightly Divided
A little over a month ago I mentioned I'll be splitting my blog soon. I'm (finally) on track. After messing around with it for awhile, I figured out how to export posts, import them, and a few other miscellaneous "tweaky" things I've been wanting to learn for some time. The amount of effort required was a little more than I wanted to put into it, but it wasn't bad -- everything was fairly intuitive. (I'm just spoiled... wanted the proverbial "easy" button approach.)
While my main reason for splitting the blog is to keep my personal life separate, part of my reasoning also revolves around the desire to keep links to the personal blogs (friends) off of the more public page.
From now on, if you'd like to see any personal posts, you will need to point your browser to the new home of "Life in the m@t lane" right here: http://the-matt-lane.blogspot.com/. Not-so-personal posts will remain over at my original URL: http://didaktos.blogspot.com/
No hurry; right now (and for at least a few days, maybe a few weeks) both blogs will be identical (hence the title: "Slightly Divided'). As I have time, I'll start deciding which of the older posts at the original URL will be deleted first. Perhaps, if any old posts have smaller amounts of personal info, I may just edit out that little bit and leave the rest. The hardest part is going to be deciding which things should be edited and which should remain on which blog. I'm expecting some cross-posting in the future, but perhaps I may be able to keep them completely (hopefully not schizophrenically) separated.
Next on the agenda is naming the "new" one. For those (like me) that aren't great with ancient Greek, I originally took the word Didaktos from the Bible. It's found in John 6:45 (one time) as well as in 1 Corinthians 2:13 (twice). The definition is
1. that can be taught
2. taught, instructed by one
3. teachings, precepts
Since I'd like to keep some form of the URL in the title of the "new" blog, my initial thoughts are to put some form of "didactic" (with a K) in the title.
Didaktic ___________
Didaktically ___________
___________ Didaktics
Feel free to offer your own suggestion... or two... or more... I may or may not use it, but for now, the new title of this blog will be "fluid" until I can find just the right phrase.
