I have been especially absent of late because it’s been a stressful, busy few weeks but it’s been for a good cause. Josh has now completed and defended his dissertation!
The defense went really well. They loved it. And I can say this for sure because I was there, dutifully taking notes.
Hopefully I will find time for a substantive post soon. There are a few incomplete ones in the draft queue.
For the moment I am getting ready to leave the house for physical therapy for my hip pain that was supposed to have been round ligament pain during pregnancy but was apparently actually a torn or pulled ligament.
