(one bright point about this part of the world) Glad to hear the Weber issue has been resolved. Reaching back a few posts, I read your code4lib presentation with great interest (even in its originally posted format...thank you, Apple). (lol about free beer vs free kittens) The biggest problem facing the kids I'm working with today is access to fiction. The OPAC sucks rocks, and worse, isn't even in the picture for them. Access is my #1 thing to work on...because we all need a #1. (aside) Oh Lord, where would I be without Piazza’s?

Ditto on letting us know when your essay is published. We will buy it and mail it to you for an autograph! I think a person could live anywhere as long as there is a university and an NPR station.

Grief is nonlinear. We want things to be in stages (whew, I'm through with THIS part!), or maybe at least *I* do, but instead it is in waves that loop back upon themselves. Laura, I wonder if that couldn't be the point of that essay, should I write it. I'm about to review office assistant applications... we had 38! But at least I can listen to NPR, shifted or otherwise, whilst doing so... Re waxing and waning, Joan Didion caught this so well in “The Year of Magical Thinking.” Grief is nonlinear.

Email on a Sunday morning (for work), half of Saturday at work for a public event, and next Saturday from 3 pm until 1:30 am at a fundraising/PR event for work. I can identify with the moving issues also, but am sitting in an apartment which is 60% the size of my Connecticut house but costs me only $515 a month -- including heat, in Wisconsin! On the other hand, there are some wonderful advantages. Keep writing. It is hard to find the time, and my goal is to be half as good as you. You will release the info on where and when you are published so that we can support you by buying the issues. I can identify.

Things are better at work for me now, and I'm having trouble writing my own stuff at home. It'll be there when you're ready - at least that's what I tell myself.
