Alphabet Soup

I've been remiss in my ABC-Along-ing, so today's blog is sponsored by two letters: B & C.

From B we get baggage

2280027835

which we used on our wearing month of travels in pursuit of the fruits of C--a Contract with a College for a new stage in my Career.

2280027927

Of course, this will effect a C-change in life (I couldn't resist--apologies to Shakespeare). Perhaps I'll let 2 big C's (also known as Johnny and June) tell you about it.

Yes, I know the song is about a troubled relationship, and yes, it may be about Jackson, TN, but it's just such a catchy tune...

Steve and I will be moving to Jackson, MS this summer, where I'll be joining the faculty of Millsaps College. I can Barely Control my excitement about this Brilliant Career opportunity!

Someday

Someday soon (I hope) I'll have some news about my non-knitting life. The corner to be rounded approaches, and I'm closer and closer to knowing what I'll be doing next year and where I'll be doing it.

Pins and needles...

Prep Work

In 24 hours, I will have defended my dissertation. I go in at 10 a.m. and, I hope, I will emerge at noon finished. I'm prepping today, but thought I'd share a bit of diss-related humor.

Another FO?

Not of the knitting variety.
