sheryl Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 How funny you posted this. I was thinking of him Tues or Wed. Also, do you remember "wood pile"? That goes back many years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Plaid Dad went to teach at a start-up Classical Catholic School. Something pretty tumultuous happened during his time there, and he left the school and Catholicism behind. I haven't been in touch in the past year (my loss) but it sounds like he and his family are happy to be homeschooling again, and that he is working on his German again. But I lost track about a year ago--computer kerfuffle lost most of my blog-bookmarks and it took awhile to figure it out. And my brain is a sieve anymore. Thanks for the update. I have his book around here somewhere. (Unless I of course have the wrong person in mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I miss his posts. Does he have a different name now? No, he hasn't been active on the boards for a while. He's left Facebook too, but is on Google Plus. He (and his family) seems happy and wise and kind as ever, though. I'll see if I can get him over here to say hi 'cause it feels a little gossipy to answer questions about his religious position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Rose, please do tell him to come by! He was so kind and helpful to me personally (via pm answers to my many questions) and also on the boards generally. I would love to hear from him again!

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thank you. I am sorry if what I wrote was off-putting or gossipy. It was the state of his life the last I heard, but I didn't want to answer any more questions, myself. Oh, no, I didn't mean to say that you were doing anything wrong! He posted a giant scarlet letter on his entirely public blog so I am pretty sure that info is in the public domain. :001_smile: Ack, now I sound like he's doing something sneaky and awful. :facepalm: I'm just going to very quietly slip out of the room now...

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Well, it was his blog post that told me the info, so that was all I knew. And you are right, it was public. I was so mad at my computer when it lost so many sites for me. His blog was called something like "Life Reloaded" but I can't find it...and I do not trust my sieve-for-brain. Yup. It was A Life, Reloaded, and it's not public anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaid Dad Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 My ears were burning.... No, seriously, Rose and Elizabeth paged me. :) All is well chez Campbell. Our dd (10) is in public school and doing splendidly. We had reached a point where homeschooling was not working for either of us, and it was more important to me to be a good father to her than a good teacher. She's still writing up a storm, making art, and generally being her crazy-intense-beautiful self. After I finished "I Speak Latin" I vowed to take a break from writing for a while. That lasted until November when NaNoWriMo took over my life. I finished, but the draft is still...a draft. I have no idea if I'll go back to it or not, but I enjoyed proving to my inner critic that I could too write a novel. We had two deaths my wife's family in quick succession earlier this year - neither entirely unexpected, but hard just the same. I feel like we're only just now coming out of our collective shell again. Other than that, I've been doing my usual round of learning languages (Spanish, mostly) and reading obscure books. :D Thank you for all the kind thoughts, and thanks to Rose for nudging me to drop by and say hello. -Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
