Thanks for your kind words -- glad you found my post useful!
Yes, I always enjoy reading your blog. I am reminded that I need to subscribe or get the rss feed. Gotta do that now.
By the way, I'd just finished reading a blog posting that was so poor, I posted a critique to my blog. Later, I read yours. It was so refreshing and interesting. I shared your posting, as a counterpoint, with my Professional Learning Network.
You're very kind! :)
