Hi there,
I thought I'd introduce myself by way of an ice-breaker I often use with my Senior Business Seminar class. It requires students to tell the class 10 things about themselves, one of which is blatantly false. You all will need to guess which of the following is not true:
(1) I have never blogged before.
(2) Five minutes into this assignment, we lost power at our house. I am sitting in front of my laptop with an LLBean headlantern pointed at the screen loading my introduction. I deserve an A for effort, don't you think?
(3) I am currently working on a memoir called "Class Act".
(4) I took a 20 year sabbatical from teaching at the college level in order to be a K-12 public school administrator.
(5) I drive an in-your-face green Honda element.
(6) I live in a log cabin.
(7) I am a tenured member of the Franklin Pierce University faculty.
(8) I am a native of New Hampshire.
(9) I have high expectations for myself and my students.
(10) I look forward to meeting all of you on Monday.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the answer is #2. I'm thinking that maybe you probably wouldn't have written your introduction in "5 minutes" (but then again, I'm sure you type quicker than I do!). Additionally, if the power is out, I'm not sure that you would be able to "load" it(no internet connection?)whether by lantern, or otherwise.
Anyhow, I'm probably wrong, but that's my shot at it.

Pat,
Welcome
I think I know but as a past division chair I should have the answer to this...but I will let others try first.
I'll bite: The "I've never blogged before" statements is the lie?
Well, I tried. Perhaps the correct answer is #10 and you just aren't telling us!
Scott
P.S. I mistakenly applied to your comment to me on my blog. I'll probably be the only one here that does that today....
Pat:
I, too, am a Mac user residing in the "sticks' with dial-up connection. So I understand your plight.
Btw,in my last comment it should state "replied", not "applied" as I typed in the P.S.
