In the past two months, I’ve had a dissertation proposal, a grant submission, a half-day workshop I ran, two paper reviews, a manuscript submission, an apartment overrun with the mess from the previous bits, 1600 miles of highway driving and…oh yeah, Christmas in two different places.

Hence the blog suddenly going dark, as it seems to do when the leaves start to fall from the trees and the temperature drops. Hopefully it’ll pick up shortly.
