I had a post written, then went to save it and *poof* it was gone. Oh well. Here’s some random stuff. Recurring dreams about Harrison Ford. We’re dating and yet not physical. I have no idea what’s going on here, but we seem to be serious about each other. It’s weird. Rude drivers in the…

Such good suggestions from everyone about my class. It’s been officially approved, so I’m plowing ahead. When I was a grad student, I would have walked down the hall until I got to an office filled with other grad students and started bouncing ideas off of them for my class. With the web, I don’t…

I am rewarding my 5 pages of crap with some video game playing. What sucks is I think I said everything I have to say in those 5 pages. I know, hard to believe. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
