I had hoped to have some words on a page by the end of this week, but that has not happened. My original plan had been a chapter a month. January was dedicated to the proposal. February to Chapter 2 (which I really finished quite early). March was supposed to be Chapter 4, but IRB…

I’ve been reading the roundup of commentary on the alleged Duke lacrosse team gang rape. I have to say that though I know where many of the commenters are coming from in terms of their characterization of lacrosse players. I mean, I live in lacrosse territory, so I know.

I hope I’m still coherent at 8:30-ish when I’m finally free to write I hope my work isn’t stupid Why is Geeky Girl running all over the place all of a sudden? Brownies, just two (small ones, 170 calories each); they’re calling me.…

Someone I’m related to is pregnant again. She’s due in November. She currently has a 2 year old and 7 month old twins. When the new kid arrives, she’ll have a nearly 3 year old, twin 1 year olds and a newborn. Am I the only one who thinks she’s insane? I have no desire…

The headache dissipated. I managed to get some work in and now I’m settling in to watch Villanova take on Florida. We come from a long line of basketball fans.
