So, what's with the blog title?

Because I've been known to struggle with semantics, the thought of naming a blog for eternity causes procrastination. I decided in the meantime to pick a point that causes me to chuckle for a variety of reasons: (assumption: you know the difference between "principal" and "principle")

The beginning

At the suggestion of a good friend and colleague, I'm going to try my hand at blogging. Since all it usually takes is a suggestion, here we go ...

One of the challenges of being a principal is making time to sit down and synthesize the thoughts that occur throughout the day, especially as they relate to my vocation, our school, and Catholic education. Even more challenging is finding the opportunity to share those thoughts in a forum that allows for feedback and discourse. The vision for this blog would be a place where students, parents, alumni and friends of Cardinal Gibbons could weigh in on the many possibilities that lie in store for our school.

Hopefully this blog will serve all these purposes ... and will give me a chance to expand beyond Twitter's 140 character limit! Thanks in advance for your patience, good humor, and most importantly, your thoughts.
