And so are you. Time named us person of the year! Congrats. Yeah, I’m pretty excited myself. It’s about time. I’ve been blogging away for 2.5 years. Okay, sure, I have to share my glory with millions of other people, but hey, isn’t that what this whole web 2.0 thing is about? My favorite quote…
My coffee reading this morning included a post by Phantom and an article in the NY Times, both of which offer a way of seeing how lucky we are to have what we have and to live the way we do. The winter holidays are often a time when the stark contrast between rich and…
I did it! Holy crap. I can’t believe it. I have a complete dissertation draft. If my calculations are correct, I’ve written about 150 pages. There’s a lot of work to do after the new year, but yay!! I didn’t think I’d make it this far. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan…
Yesterday was my last day of work for almost 3 weeks. I always have tons of vacation to use up by the end of the year. Even taking today and all of next week, I will roll over a few days of vacation. That’s one thing I would never complain about at work. We get…

I know that everything I’ve written so far, while not being used directly, contributes to my thinking about the new direction. It does kind…
Yay for the little things in life. I’m up for an award in the Best of the top 3501-5000 blogs. Go vote. I’m in 4th. We have friends in other categories. Go vote for them too. Chuck in best of 5001-6750. If Phantom doesn’t win Best Parenting Blog, there’s something wrong with the universe. Don’t…
For the past three days, our campus cafe has offered among its coffee options Cinnamon Hazelnut. Despite having sworn off caffeine, I have indulged myself in a small cup.
