April April April Just got back to BOS from a whirlwind few weeks of nonstop travel, conferences, spring break-iness, and general mojo-restoration. I'm about 10,000 miles closer to MVP on AK Air, happily exhausted, topped off with good beer and coffee, full of good research ideas and improvements, and deeply behind on my self-imposed generals prep schedule. I also have to somehow pull a full-length seminar paper out of my ass for my history class by this coming Monday, which concerns me more than a little bit. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, it's back to the breakneck four-book-a-day schedule I was managing to maintain there for a hot week or two. Tomorrow. Tonight, I need to just (finally) unpack, rehydrate, and settle back in to the groove.

The funding is rolling in for the summer, which is very exciting. I'm going to AK and to Russia, and I also have a (relatively!) smaller grant to go to New Orleans. Everything's coming up Milhouse!  ¶ 4:09 PM
