Well, I’ve had a very enjoyable sabbatical from blogging at Advanced Studies after five years of more or less constant posting. During the break, we had two amazing blizzards here in Washington and there’s still a whole lot more snow on the ground than we ever get during a “normal” winter–that even though it’s nearly 50 degrees outside and this would be the typical time we’d be seeing daffodils. Also, I’ve been teaching a very enjoyable course on the function of the hippocampus–cross listed to both advanced undergraduates and doctoral students here at Mason. I forget sometimes how satisfying teaching can be.
We saw a pretty entertaining movie the other night, Tenure, which made me laugh, but also reminded me of the very frightening events from Alabama over the past week.
In any case, we’re rested, relaxed and ready to blog.
