I find myself interviewing at a large conference in a faraway city with no knitting. It's going to be a long weekend.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, filled with family, friends, and, of course, sumptuous knitting! I'm home today preparing for my trip to the MLA convention in Chicago (because, really, there's no better place to be this time of year, is there?), we've got a turkey breast to pop in the oven, and all is right with the world.
And now for something completely different...
It's been a good week--in a weird way. I had a TON of grading to do and I got it all done in time, but that means that I spent the majority of my time in Albany grading papers. Thankfully, I suppose, week 2 of new baby means lots of time indoors, especially when the universe keeps dumping snow on you.
It's all quite beautiful, but also cold and treacherous. I aspire to be like snow someday. But not today.
The baby is, of course, excellent. Meet Henry Hunter.
He's a handsome little devil and already a favorite with the ladies; we went for Mom's checkup today and the nurses just couldn't get enough. Of course, he does display a more serious side.
Too. Stinking. Cute.
Back in GA on Saturday. Tomorrow I travel by train.
I've got a minute, so here goes.
1. I'm an aunt! My sister had her baby last week--a son! He's adorable and I get to see him in 2 days! More later.
2. I'm going to Albany, NY for 10 days. I will be cold.
3. My car is feeling sad. Someone dented its bumper last week. Not pretty.
Photos to follow later this week of all events.
