Hunkering down

Going to be posting a lot less frequently for the next few months. Life has gotten quite busy, and I find that something needs to give. Though I don't spend a lot of time on this, not posting here will probably have the effect of reducing the amount of extracurricular online reading I do, and that does represent a significant chunk of time.

I'm writing three major papers this semester, for a total of around 100-120 pages, perhaps 30,000-40,000 words. Fortunately, there is significant overlap in the body of research, so this is technically possible, if still quite an undertaking.

I'm also looking for a job. I've an interview with a Washington DC firm next month, but I'd really like to have at least half a dozen more interviews by the end of October, and thus far that isn't going very well.

On Wednesday I start teaching logic to the homeschool co-op at my church. It's a ten week, once a week class, and should be a lot of fun.

So posting here is going to be reduced. I'll probably throw something up once a week, especially if something interesting turns up in my research. I might even decide to blog that. But overall, I'm hunkering down to get some real work done.

DC is my neck of the woods. Let me know when you're going to be in the area and I'll treat you to lunch. It'd be nice to catch up. Just shoot me an email and I'll clear my schedule.

Good luck/providence in your job search.

Sounds like a good plan.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not likely to be able to get away. It's a wine 'n dine affair. I'll arrive late Monday night, be interviewing all day, and then leave Tuesday afternoon.

How did the interviews turn out? I saw your latest status is "heading to DC". I figure that's either out of date or a very positive sign that things went well last time you were there.
