New to Blogging

This is my first blog post. I'm new to the technology, but am excited about the opportunity to create. I'm not in the fast-track cohort, but am joining you as a student who normally is on campus at Pittsburgh. I'm happy for this opportunity, since I commute two hours, have a three-month old daughter and a two-year old daughter and other work obligations. So the busy life theme I've seen here resonates. I have a past life as a Russian History professor, but, with small children, no longer teach full time and am taking the opportunity to add skills to my resume with this program. I'm interested in the philosophy of archives, helping local organizations to take care of their historical documents, and helping them to create history.
