Since I know at least one person who still checks this periodically, and since I’m so overdue for a post I can’t even remember the last time I did, it’s about time…
I counted last night, and this is my 16th year playing volleyball in a league of some kind. It doesn’t matter what the level of competition, who’s on my team (although I’ve ( Read more... ) -

I heart New York: Part II
Last week was my scheduled appointment to make sure that my car wasn't repaired using stolen parts. After driving an hour to the designated location, I entered the building through one of the unmarked doors (the one with footprints in the snow) and into a small room with a few chairs and some Rolling Stone and Men's Health magazines sitting on a ( Read more... ) -
Chickens don't like snow...
One of the quirks of the museum where I work is that my office is near one of the chicken coops, so I have a gang of 3 chickens who often loiter outside my window. They haven't been thrilled with the snow and series of freezing rainstorms, and usually come outside only briefly before retreating back to their heat lamp.

Remember how I said a long time ago that I'd be able to post lots more? Turns out I lied. A few days before graduation I was offered temporary employment in C-town working at one of the museums, where I'm finishing up and installing an exhibit and working to coordinate a few other programs. I'm living up the lake from C-town (which means I have ( Read more... ) -
Limbo
I've been walking the last three mornings. After spending time reading my second non-school-related book or browsing online newspapers and blogs, I get out of bed at a more reasonable hour to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather and the fact that I don't have any other commitments to rush to. I'm trying to ease my muscles back into a routine ( Read more... ) -
I have finally emerged...
...from the chasm that is graduate school. I graduated on Saturday and after 3 ceremonies (one university-wide, one departmental, one just my C-town program) I am finally done!! Of course, in usual fashion my plans were completely turned inside out and traded in for some new ones. I had planned to spend some time staying with my parents in MN, ( Read more... )
