Despite what you may think… I haven’t jumped off the nearest bridge or somehow escaped to Antarctica. I have been CRAZY busy preparing to teach classes at three different colleges AND getting ready to present three sessions at the upcoming Virtual Chicago Tea Festival.  I’m attempting to maintain some semblance of sanity and endeavoring to have somewhat of a sense of humor, all the while trying not to bite off the heads of everyone close to me. Sometimes that works and sometimes not.  On top of all that, I’m struggling to learn three different platforms that support all those virtual programs. That has been the heartbreak for me… for example what is Pathables? With any luck, in the next couple days coupled with long sleepless nights, I expect to have things more of less under control and I’ll be able to get back to regular blogging.

In the meantime, you MUST check out the Chicago Tea Festival – it’s not too late to obtain an admission ticket and then you will be able access all the various presentations, lectures, etc. (including Jane Pettigrew’s sessions- the worldwide Queen of Tea).  It is truly going to be an event that any ardent tea lover will feel like they have died and gone to heaven!  Hopefully, I’ll “see” you at Tea Festival!
