What've I been up to?
--went to WI for the birthday party. Wonder Woman costume was risque, but when I tried to cover up I was encouraged to flaunt my goodies by pretty much my whole family. Some family, eh? I won the adult costume contest, for chutzpah I think. I had flesh-colored tights, which made it all possible (no way would I have done it otherwise). Perhaps I will post a photo...
--went to Boston for a conference last weekend (got back tuesday) After seeing the kids, I got a cold, which the flights to and from Boston worsened. I STILL can't hear properly. Really getting annoying. YES, I've chewed gum and yawned.
The conference was a lot of fun. I saw the big names in the field have knock-down drag-outs several times, in front of everyone. I'm told it's not usually THAT eventful. Too bad! :) It also made me realize I have a particular approach to the central questions in the field that may be what make it possible for me to carve out a niche. I'm meeting with my advisor today and I'll be bouncing some ideas off him. Let's hope this post-meeting scenario doesn't happen:
