I know-- I know. Some random pictures and not a lot of words for days now. BUT, I have a really good reason-- I am WRITING a lot. Finally, I have gone through all my big old boxes of arhcival documents, and oh my goodness, I have enough information for CHAPTERS that MAKE SENSE.

So, I am writing, and I swear to god there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I will be done drafting my disseration this year-- like 2007 (or maybe 2008, which is still, techinically this year, if you go by academic years, and I do). Sure, I'll have a year of revisions looming large after that, but people, seriously. I will get the "D" in "ABD" and before I am 31, no less! I am making PROGRESS.

Just not blogress.



Finally we got him his own broom. Which? Is his favorite toy ever, the little weirdo. Wait till he sees the teeny dustbuster, vacuum, and mop. I seriously don't know if he'll be able to stand it.
