In September our bodies have returned to work but our heads (and hearts) are lingering somewhere in summertimeland. This September, with its especially summerlike weather was no exception. But today, being a Monday–the first Monday of October no less–seems to be the real deal despite the weather. Time to get serious. Time to look forward. Time to blog!

And so I return to writing this blog and look forward to helping friends and former students get their daily dose of English. I’ve redefined my goals for this blog and will continue to provide you with information about events happening in English in Madrid as well as organize a daily dose of current affairs reading, listening and viewing from around the web. I look forward to your comments and feedback.

And yes, that’s me wading into the surf at Pismo Beach this summer…
