Sorry for slight blogging...

... as I'm sick. And swamped. And sick. And traveling again both this weekend, and next weekend. And last weekend. Did I mention I'm sick?

In better news, the bobcat guy flattened our backyard, so it's flat now from the geothermal installation, and looks like it has potential for gardening. A cheering thought. My good friend and colleague Donna Riley is visiting Purdue today (and giving this seminar), and dinner with her and a group of other folks is promised on another colleague's porch (it's going to be 70ºF!).

So that counterbalances a bit the sickness and swampedness. A little. :-)

(And I thought, without the teaching this semester, that my semester end wouldn't be completely insane. What was I thinking?!?)

I hope you are feeling better soon. I think many of us plan too much to do during our non-teaching periods. Maybe teaching forces us to actually more realistically evaluate our ability to get things done.

I hope that a sunny dinner with friends outdoors is enough to stem the tide of suck.

Feel better soon!

Don't listen to that PP. He's under the influence of Viking Kitten Overlords.

I'm sorry to hear you're sick...hope it goes away soon! Enjoy dinner with Donna Riley, that should be a lot of fun!
