Happy Labor Day!
We had a wonderful time in DC -- I've posted many pictures to FB if you'd like to see them.
In much more momentous news -- I gave my two-weeks' notice for my job while I was away. So, beginning one week from Friday, I'm going to focus on academic research and writing again (can I get a "Hooray"!?). I'll also teach one or two classes in the Spring at my soon-to-be-former employer, and I'll continue to grab freelance writing and editing gigs when they come up. The Midwesterner in me feels guilty about giving up a job -- even a poor one -- when so many are without work, but I need to strike while the Ted Hughes iron is still hot. And, if you know anyone who needs a book indexed in record time, send them my way.
We're off to see "Julie & Julia" (finally!) today. I have a great love for Julia Child -- I met her once, at Smith, just about ten years ago. And she was awesome!
Happy Labor Day!
