Missed you, blog
I'm back from Kalamazoo. Ellis is a great traveler. We had a great time.
Tumbling over myself with all I want to blog about, but mountains of laundery and spilling over mess on my desk are beckoning.
To blog/read later:
* tales and pictures of our traveling adventures
* Sarah has written a couple good posts on timing of academic babies. Want to read what she has linked to.
* thought-provoking post on parenting philosophy from jo(e)
* I've read this post before: should you go to grad school? from burke. For some reason I read it again this morning. I laughed out loud. I'm totally amused, not in a sardonic/cynical way at all. I'm just chuckling. I know it's not intended to be humorous. But somehow with four years of grad school under my belt it just struck a funny chord with me.
* I love conferences. Every time I go to one, I like them more, maybe because I know more people and know more stuff to understand papers better.
My paper at Kalamazoo went well, and I'm pleased.
* Ellis is the smartest kid in the world! :-)
Catch ya later, I'm going to Ikea this afternoon.

Thanks for the link! It's gotten me a lot of hits. I've been a blog slacker for the past week, so I better get back on the ball. I'm glad your trip went well and that you are basking in your child's brilliance. I do that regularly :)

Congratulations on the paper! I'm glad it went well. I hated conferences when I was in coursework, but being remote from my department has made me really love them -- I thrive on being around my own kind, or something like that!

I'm glad you're back and that everything went so well. I saw your advisor today (he was trying to manhandle a typewriter), and he remarked on how good it had been to see you.
I'm enjoying Sarah's posts on academic babies-- certainly, she's giving me stuff to consider as I come face to face with the point of no return. =)
