Introducing...a chair

Yes, that's me.  A chair.  A static, stationary object.  One that moves very little.  Or maybe just swivels just a bit.  Except that's not the truth.  I am a chair.  A chair of an academic department.  A buzzing, whirling, barrel of motion, activity, and blunder.  And this is my blog.

I was not a reluctant chair.  I wanted this job.  I asked for it.  I took pleasure in the fact that others thought it would suit me.  But it has not been a bed of roses.  In this blog I metaphorically prune my bed of roses and pick at the thorns that sometimes lie under me, getting under my skin.  Hopefully, along the way, some beautiful garden might grow.
