Hey all, Congratulations seem to be in order all around for all sorts of good stuff! This is surely an overachieving bunch! My hat is off to you all. As for me, I have done absolutely nothing in terms of my dissertation since leaving Indiana. I'm going to have to get serious about it, but I am just not in the mood. School finally starts tomorrow (how surreal!) so I have been working on putting classes together and quelling my fears about this whole new teaching environment that I know very little about. But my biggest problem at the moment is the 100 mile commute (each way) that this job currently entails. We thought we had found a place closer to campus last week, but the deal fell through. So for the time being anyway it appears that I will be doing a great deal of driving... Anyway, keep up the good work, all, and Chad, my best wishes to you and you family!
