"Break this tired old routine. . . "

It has been a while, hasn't it? 


I find myself in a state of flux.  Since I last posted, jobs have come and jobs have gone.  Issues have arisen and issues have put themselves to bed.

What I am sure of is that I know my next step.  Finally, after 6 years of being both a restaurant pastry chef and a pastry instructor I have concluded that the time has come to choose between the two.  And I have chosen teaching.  An easy decision this most certainly was not.  And an easy transition it hasn't been and it probably won't be.  I must focus on one though.  For my career.  For my future.  For my students.  For my knowledge base.  For my life.  For my relationship.  For my sanity.
