Really really good. Now I’m not lounging all summer, I’m commuting 6 hours a week teaching in WI and working down in the [...]

I am at the place on one of my papers that I like the best, the last page, the conclusion. Don’t laugh, I’m not done just because I”m on the last page, far from it. I still need to review it, proof it, add the bib (some, thank you [...]

Ok enough of the winter. Now that it seems like spring has finally gotten its act together it’s all good. In my last blog I poked fun at where I’m living saying it was in the middle of a cornfield. That’s a complete exaggeration, I live right next [...]

I posted a sister picture to this towards the end of last semester, and I thought this would better show how my pursuit of a PhD is single-handedly killing the rain forests. I try to be a good environmentally friendly entity, I really do. I recycle. I keep [...]

Now I know that everyone is bemoaning 2008, everyone is dissing it 6 ways to Sunday, and everyone is glad its 2009. Well, I for one had a decent 2008. I met some really cool people where I taught college classes for the first time (yah Concordia), I applied [...]

Know what’s the best thing about laptops? You can blog from bed. Not that I am, of course not, how lazy…

From the earliest I can remember I loved horses. In this picture we were on vacation in Colorado. I was so excited for the first time I was going to ride on a horse by myself. I remember them hoisting me up. [...]

So I’ve be MIA for the past two weeks or so. That gave you plenty of time to view my “lovely” cream puffs. Ah, those were the days. I finally moved my pictures and my photoshop to the new computer, and I have an extra [...]

These are some great flowers. I think I took this last year in Colorado. Some last of the season blooms from August. They look pretty good, spring like even. I remember taking this picture to paint from. I went around taking a bunch of pictures of minutia trying to get this [...]
