Home alone

By pharyngula on July 26, 2009.

I have been abandoned. My wife has left me. The kids have all moved out. I'm stuck home alone with nothing to do but work and take care of the annoying cats for a whole week, and I may just go insane.

The Trophy Wife has gone to summer camp! She's working for a week as a camp counselor at Minnesota's Camp Quest, the secular place for smart kids to be. I'm thinking I should probably demand, as a price for forcing me to bach it for all this time, some kind of direct report from her at the end of the week that I could post here and get everyone excited about sending their kids (or spouses) away for a while.

I'd say that I should get her to send me daily updates on the events there, but I think she's going to be busy. As it is, all I've heard so far is that they have luxurious new cabins and great food. I had leftover tuna casserole for dinner last night, just sayin'.

Time Management, or A Day in the Life
In comments to the Sagan post, Niall asked about how I spend my time. This is about to change, as today is the last day of my class for the fall term, then we have an extended break, but it's probably interesting in a life-in-academia way to put up my schedule at the moment: Monday, Wednesday,…
Why am I here again?
Perhaps because I don't blog anonymously, or maybe for other reasons, I don't write that much about my personal life. That kind of writing can be self-important, insipid, and boring. But it can also have real power. A number of the anonymous bloggers here describe the intersection of the…
