Is thing on?

Yes, it's been a long time since I udpated this so I thought I would put up a few odds and ends.



  • Abby and Sammy are both in school and doing well. For Abby this wasn't much of an issue since she's been at it for a while, but we were sort of worried about Sam. But he seems to be having a grand time and even has a girlfriend, though he doesn't know her name or what she looks like. He does know that she sits at the Yellow table. So that's something....

  • After last year's debacle, Abby is finally in Girl Scouts! You may recall that last year the Girl Scouts asked Cindy to help form a new troop since all other troops were at capacity. She tried to oblige but they wouldn't return her calls or emails. This year, there was an opening in an already established troop that Abby happily filled. And Cindy is one of the troop leaders! So far they both like it a lot.

  • Cindy is still babysitting though not as much as last year. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to get a raise next year (no one at OSU will) which means that most likely Cindy will need to return to work in the fall. I feel bad for her.

  • Angel continues to confuse herself for a hound dog and/or a cat. She REALLY likes to sniff things when we walk, which is fine when the weather is warm, but really annoying now. She's also taken to napping and sleeping on the top of furniture. I'm not sure why.

  • After years of threatening to do it, I'm now taking my general exam. I turned in my first question last week and have 2 more to answer. I'm hoping to get the next one shortly. If things go well I will be ABD in the spring.

  • If you're curious I'm PO'd at Pryor et al for selling stuff that I would have valued much more highly in their position and at the NCAA for punishing them for what is a fairly common every day occurence. In the end it was their stuff they sold.
