Denial

So one of my new years resolutions was to actually get back to regularly blogging. Not because I feels some sort of obligation, but because I miss it. However looking back and seeing that the last post was also a "recap" freaked me out so I put it off yet again. So... I'm going to utilize another well heeled tool. Denial. 

Anyhow, the long and the short... Had a good semester last year, and the new one is already started. Had a nice trip home to NC to see family. My first paper is officially in print, the second is submitted, and the third is in process. The job market is still as bleak as the economy but I haven't given up hope. I can likely stay in my current post for another year so things could be far more dire. That is the the all the acknowledgment I'm going to give to all the elapsed time since I last wrote, I just can't make up for it (hence the denial part). 

'Nuff said the next post will carry on with a few gems I observed on my trip to NC.
