Busy Summer

Life has been busy here in Centrasota. The dissertation is humming along (slowly, but there is humming). And we've taken two trips: a five-day trip to the Bay Area and a four-day trip to Omaha, NE. Both were to visits to friends, and both trips whet my appetite for owning a home, so this Wednesday we head off for Newberry, SC to buy a house. Before we leave, I hope to post on our two recent trips; however, I'm finding that solid dissertating (combined with preparing to move) and active blogging do not (for me) go hand in hand.

Above is a photo of our duplex on an especially nice summer day. The clouds looked so very nice and so I grabbed the camera and ran out for quick photo. The skies can be quite nice here, and it can make all the difference for the landscape, which is beautiful when the sky is right.
