The Blank Page...uh, Screen

The first blog post. It's never easy to sit down to a blank screen, a blank canvas or a blank piece of paper. So much stress and anxiety to write something profound, something pithy, something worthwhile. In some ways, it's like coming into a new position, especially a leadership position. Of course, an organization, like our museum, isn't a blank slate. There are possibilities and ideas of what the organization might or could be, but a new leader inherits much when he walks into his office for the first time.

So, welcome to my blog - Extension 202. I hope you will follow along with me this year as I ask important questions about The Printing Museum, and its place in the Houston area museum community. I will also share, from time to time, articles, blogs and other resources I find helpful to my thinking (and doing) both inside the museum profession and without. In the end, I hope to make this a forum for ideas, questions and dialogue. I hope you'll join me.
