Learning this whole blog thing...

Well, seeing as how I love to procrastinate on the computer and everyone is always mad at me that I don’t stay in touch, perhaps I should give this bogging thing a go….
So here it is, I’m gonna give it a shot, but I’m not really going to tell anyone yet, until I see if I can actually keep it up.
Kudos to my old friend Mary for the idea (even if she doesn’t know it).

So what’s been going on with me for the last month?

Well I enjoyed a conference in scenic Puerto Rico. Scenic and WARM!!!! It was awesome if not hugely expensive 8 F**** bucks for a beer you’ve got to be kidding me. But at least when the conference to too much to bear (or you couldn’t feel your feet anymore from the out of control air conditioning. Why do they do that?) you could walk out the door and sit on the beach. Now that’s my idea of paradise (just make sure the pina coladas cost less).


Dan graduated from NE Tech, Whoo Hoo!!!! Who’s the man! He even got to wear the hat! We had a great party, barbeque and beers. Got to hang out with family and friends. Pretty cool even if we didn’t have enough chairs….. oops.

Dan & I took Kenneth to get his latest tattoo, while waiting I got inspired (to do more then just e-mail his mom a picture of him getting it done). Thought I would get it somewhere not so painful, but of course Dan thought that was wussing out. Suns look better on the ankle bone. He of course is right, so I took the challenge... Holy crap that hurt, getting better now, at least my ankle isn’t puffed up to twice the size anymore.

Spent the last two weeks frantically preparing to teach a course on human forensic osteology. Despite the workload it was awesome to teach. I got to teach people how to identify sex, age, ancestry of skeletons and look at trauma. It was a blast, especially the last laboratory, we got to look at the gruesome stuff – so I got the usual “oh, gross!” but really it was fascinated revulsion. For once it was really nice to actually teach something that holds people’s attention (instead of hearing the usual snores….).
