Hola, Andrea & All --

Andrea, you deserve a parade, a power blue convertible, and a pack of Rolos (my favorite candy) to chuck into the audience.  Congrats!

As for the dissertation, it?s going well.  My main problem at this point is meeting with my advisor.  I feel like calling up and asking, ?But what about me and my needs??  However, I don?t want to become an academic stalker. 

Be good.  Off to cut grass and climb trees.
