This has already been a crazy fall and it's going to get crazier as it goes on. On the school/career front, I have started collecting data for my dissertation. This has eaten up a huge chunk of my time and has created a constant stream of things ...

I thought this summer was going to get calmer and more relaxing after summer teaching was over, but the opposite seems to have happened. This is a beer that was actually brewed back at the beginning of July. K. and I had both hit our stashes of Ra...
