Clever readers may notice I borrowed my blog’s title from a quote by US Historian William Durant – “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance”.  I don’t like to talk much but when I do have something to say I pretty much let it rip.  My mother used to tell me the same thing yours probably did - "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all".    Well that worked great when I was a kid being forced to watch Disney movies but with each trip around the sun I get another year older and much more opinionated.   I simply can't contain it like I used to and in fact have decided that it's just not healthy to do so!

Yes, I will admit that while I am too young to be considered an OLD MAN I am certainly picking up the traits of the stereotypical crotchety ***.  If you get me started on something irratating – watch out!!!   I think blogging  will be good for me and I sincrerely hope many of you will chime in with questions, comments, suggestions, support and even disdain, mockery and contempt.  While I hope this blog will provide an avenue for people to seek straight answers or to simply enjoy reading the ramblings of one man I also encourage you to participate with all the passion I suspect you have pent up inside.  

In the coming weeks I will begin to provide opinions of how I see the world of higher education shaping up.  I am sure you are aware of some big changes looming.  I certainly have my views on the subject and I’ll share them here.  I hope you will as well.

So let's get started !!!
