The Vanishing Week Edition

That was the week that was...I think so at least...I'm just not sure. This week has gone by so fast that I'm not even sure it actually happened. It is already Friday afternoon!?!? I had three assignments this week and they are all now in the hands of professors (or more pointedly, teaching assistants) and I will hopefully pull through with a decent grade. (crosses fingers) I also have a presentation Monday for Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener", which is a short story that I think I've read a half dozen times in my life- it seems every other class from High School until now has had this story as part of the syllabus. Other than all that school work, this week was also all about watching the collapse of the New York Yankees. Wow. The house is really cozy this week. Shell worked on the living room a bit more and she wants some retakes of the pictures so hopefully next week we'll have a few new ones. It's just nice to be able to walk into almost every room now and it actually be free of cardboard boxes...hurray! Now all we need are guests (which is a not so subtle hint to those of you in the area) It is cold and damp here this week as well. Misty rain almost every day, temps in the mid-teens, blah. I was able to take the dogs to the park today though. They were very excited about that. Dixie had an exciting week as she finally caught up with one of the moles living in the backyard. She seemed very proud to have used what remnants of the terrier part she has in her blood to capture the critter. Last night I finally got to a good cleaning of my office, organizing it and it is much more conducive to studying and writing papers. As you can tell, this week hasn't been terribly eventful or exciting...but it was productive and for that I'm grateful. Still working on some political posts which I'll have out soon. Till then Cheers
