Our family is loud. I really like that it is loud, because it makes me appreciate the quiet when it comes. I & Mike were fortunate to be able to visit most of the Munds/Ryans/Grahams/Mulloneys for Turkey Day. It was lovely and reminded me of the lake...minus the mosquitoes. This only adds to my recent yearning to be close to family.
Catching up
I have a temporary teaching position (that I am avoiding by writing this post) at a local college in Western NY. I like it. I wish I could get more completed on other stuff, but I have this experience that should help me. At least I keep telling myself that. Next year, I'll move back to Buffalo to finish the PhD, hopefully in 1-2 years, with lots of effort, less sleep and tons of caffeine.
I hope everyone is well and preparing for the holidays in their own way.
