Day in the life...

Pancake family brunch; soccer (Big Kid playing, me assistant coach temp); ballet (family appreciation day); pig roast with belly dancing (really, organic pig at that).

There are worse ways to spend a day.

Perfect weather here this weekend, and after proposal hell week (more on that later) and early summer stomach 'flu (everyone in rapid succession), it was nice to have a busy but pleasant day.

Got a large paper (thesis chapter) read and commented; one referee's report done.
That leaves 8 papers currently in various stages where I am the hold up, and one referee's report due that I remember.
And two talks to write. Yipes.

This was supposed to be the "easy" week.

Long as the mild sunny weather holds, you can't beat the early evening hour in the park!

I have not been blogging much lately, a state of affairs likely to persist until the end of the semester at the start of May. This is partly a consequence of blogger burn-out; I just flat haven't felt like blogging. Mainly, though, it is because this semester has been an unusually busy and…
