Vacation

Callie and I are heading out to Reno/Tahoe Friday morning to play Counting Crows groupies for 3 shows, finally using those travel vouchers we earned (through being idiots) last year before they expire. I hear they've been playing some amazing shows, and I'm looking forward to the adventure of seeing a place I've never been before.

The Lovely Evelynne will be reprising her role as Guest Blogger and generally minding the store on Friday and Monday, but we'll all be taking a break on Saturday and Sunday, as our Lovely Guest Blogger has an engagement at the nudist beach. I'll be happy to keep my clothes ON in public at Reno and Tahoe, and I suspect the public will be happy about that as well.

I'm still running a time deficit, but I did manage to get caught up on quite a few things today, the most important of which was FINISHING all of Chapter Three of the dissertation but the conclusion (and proofing and final tidying). The conclusion will be easy enough to write, and I may very well print the thing and work on it on the plane. This chapter has been a royal pain in the ass and very nearly caused me to abandon the damn dissertation. I'm very pleased with the quality of the writing and the argument, and less pleased with the depth of analysis, but it is a relief to have it essentially completed now, and I feel like I've actually earned my play time this weekend.
