As several readers have noted, I haven’t been posting much lately. Mostly, I’ve been working - trying to get ahead in my classes, working on research, and in general keeping a low profile. So, here’s a brief update on things

I’m Still Here

I’m grateful that the Unknown Baby Boy has a good disposition. He laughs easily and often, and is generally a happy kid most of the time. Here’s a short clip (luckily, he gets his looks from his mother)

Well, it’s the last finally the day of the year. So, here’s wishing you all a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year

Out With The Old Year, and In WIth The New

This is a bit belated - I started it, and then didn’t finish before all family got here for the festivities. But better late than never, eh?

Happy Thanksgiving

For a number of reasons, I haven’t been blogging much: First off, I’m still in post-semester recovery mode. This happens every Spring - after the semester is over, I need a week or two to decompress, clean out the detritus of the year from my office, and kick back a bit before refocusing on my summer research goals. This time around, between the timing of exams and faculty meetings, it was worse than usual.

Interestign Times In The Unknown Household

The semester is now officially over at Unknown University. I gave my last final Tuesday afternoon (the last slot in finals week). Unfortunately, grades had to be turned in by 4 today (only 48 hours later)

Stick A Fork In Me!

We’re off to a neighboring state to visit my mother for Mother’s day. It’ll be the first time my side of the family gets to see the Unknown Baby Boy in person. As for the rest of my life, I have a final exam to write for Tuesday, followed by an executive education class on Wednesday, a Faculty retreat on Thursday, and a trip to Six Flags in Lake George over the weekend (Unknown Older Son is a big Loony Tunes fan, and we wanted to go there before his stem cell transplant in early June).

Happy Mother’s Day

I thought I’d put a few impressions of the EFA conference from this past week. While pretty short, it was a very good time: catching up with old friends, making some new ones, getting a lot of work done, and SLEEEEEP! Because of all the other stuff going on in the Unknown Household, I was only able to get away for a day, so I took an early Friday flight to Baltimore, followed by the train to Washington. I arrived at the conference hotel just before lunch

A Good Conference, Followed By More Crazy

Once again, it’s that happy time - the end of the semester at Unknown University. I teach my last classes tomorrow - in one, I hand back some assignments and talk about the final (that means today is all about the grading, and in the other (the student managed fund), I hand out stock assignments for which they must come up with final analyses. As always, the last week was crazy - the student-managed fund class makes a presentation to the Alumni at the end of every semester, and it’s always a mad rush to get it done.

We Are In Final Approach

I’m a flaming extrovert: I strike up conversations with people waiting in line, with the guy (or gal) in the seat across the aisle on planes or trains, and in general with almost anyone I spend some time with. The good thing about this is that I find out a lot about people, and much of it is pretty interesting. Last night, I was on the train, and I started talking with the guy across the aisle
