OK, so I have neglected this thing for over two months. Oops! Not my intention. Things just got kind of busy with the end of the semester, the final squeak through to get my dissertation all done with the requisite i's dotted and t's crossed and s's properly curved and all of the other hoops I had to jump through. Then there was the round trip between Tuscaloosa and Manhattan, a side trip to Clay Center, my niece Madeline's graduation party, the denouement from graduation, the first summer as a faculty person and our anniversary trip to the beach. Not to mention that I am about to commence upon my 51st (blech, it hurts to type it) trip around the sun as an occupant of the 3rd rock.
So as Crash Davis once noted in the great movie "Bull Durham", we've been dealing with a lot of, um, stuff lately. Hopefully I will be able to make some sense of it all fairly soon. Long story short: it's going pretty well and it's up to me to keep it that way.
Peace, out.
