It’s summer, and work focus has shifted from teaching to close interactions with graduate students, writing and editing of papers, and early proposal drafts. Also, this summer I have made a solemn vow that I will in fact have a couple of weeks of no work whatsoever, when I just veg out and watch movies and…

As far as I can tell, no one around me “in real life” (except DH and approximately 66.7% of my kids) knows about my blogging and related adventures (such as the book). The people who know who I am in meatspace were first bloggy friends or acquaintances, but it never happened the other way around; I have never revealed the blog to anyone…

— The conference food is awesome, but the coffee is just plain disgusting. I found a nice coffee house today and finally had a decent cup of joe, so my outlook has significantly improved. — The conference is technically excellent and I have a whole bunch of exciting new ideas to pursue. — While the late-career speakers are mostly white, the…

— Man, I love driving. I think I should increase the distance which I decide to drive (as opposed to fly) when going to a conference. How’s 1000 miles? — Pro-tip: When driving in the middle of the night, find a truck and just stay behind it. It shields you from the wind and rain and…

The boys’ left hands: 16, 9, and almost 5 years of age. Aren’t they beautiful? The kids didn’t even grumble too much at this photo shoot, just rolled their eyes at Mom and posed. Do any of the readers remember Probably Handy Fun? Well, it turns out that Smurf is left-handed, like Eldest, which makes the right-handed Middle Boy…

It’s Memorial-weekend Sunday, so I should be allowed to not think about work, right? Well, it sort of… worked. DH, Smurf, and I spent some time at a local attraction, slathered in SP-50 Coppertone and working on our vitamin D reserves. But, I have been thinking about procrastination today. Why do I procrastinate? I see Eldest,…
