The View From Kalamazoo

Gym yesterday and only once last week. Scheduling gym time is slim to none when Something Congress This Way Comes, but my weight is down a half pound more – so perhaps I’m exiting this abysmal plateau. Not having time to eat must be a positive factor. Officially started on June conference paper. It’s all wine and roses now, kiddies.

This is a damn disturbing article in the Village Voice. Not that I am new to the info contained therein, but it’s so bare…and plain…and I’m sure Brian will bug me again about what I think I’ll accomplish with a Ph.D., much less getting funding to get the damn thing and actually managing to run the gauntlet reasonably unscathed. Yes, and almost weekly my father calls me to remind me that at least here I have retirement, health insurance, and the use of most of my stomach lining.
