For Andrew
Since Andrew likes to comment on my blog, I thought I would do him a favor by actually posting again. It's been a while, but it's mainly because I never have good fodder. Of course, if you ask William Zissner, or E.B. White, even the littlest things can be transformed into good essays, for those who are willing to look. I recently read an essay by White on brown eggs vs. white eggs. Reminds me of Grandma Belz's brown eggs and cinnamon rolls and coffee on her oval table on Sunday mornings at her house at Cono. (Wow, too many prepositions in that sentence).
The NCAA tournament pretty much sucks. The Big Ten is completely out so now I'm left with George Mason to root for. Iowa was a huge disappointment.
I don't have any cool links or photos to put on here right now. That will have to wait till later, when I've built up more stamina. I'll leave you with some idea of what the near future looks like for me: flying to Boston in a couple weeks for a long weekend, training for Ragbrai, going to the beach and doing Ragbrai the second half of July, got into a couple grad schools, namely American and Boston U., and need to decide about that. I wish the weather in Chattytown would get better so I could ride my new bike.
Andrew, if you're reading, I could use some grad school advice.

Follow your heart. What are your interests? How does each school meet those? What are the financial packages of each school?

Following up Andrew (even though you asked him and not me ;-) )
...how do the financial packages of each school match with living expenses of the area? People I talked with yesterday joked how more money at Columbia didn't necessarily mean 'more money at Columbia'.
Also, is there someone on the faculty that you can see as a mentor? This will be important come thesis/diss time.

Thanks, guys. If I follow my heart I will go to Boston, but the financial packages of both don't look too promising. We'll see.
