Posterous to Blogger

When I began blogging in anticipation of my sabbatical, I started with posterous.com. I made six posts before they gave notice that they would be closing down April 30, 2013. Soon after that notice I decided to switch to Blogger.com, but there was no easy way to import from one to the other. So the next six posts will be those from Posterous.com that I've simply rewritten to this blog. They will be out of sequence, but they are a part of the journey I want to remember.
