At last, the new semester starts. Great, new semesters mean new issues so I do not get bored, for a few months anyway. However, the new semester brought with it many of the same old issues of starting a new semester, including consuming my time and limiting my ability to blog about what I am reading, doing, thinking.
A quick update on life, went to APSA annual meeting last week. I survived the great fire of 2014 at the Marriott Wardman Park, and no, I did not light it. Dan Drezner has an interesting piece on the fire available here. The conference was good, talked to interesting people about some interesting research. Talked to more interesting people about grad schools, etc. Visited with some grads from the department of Politcal Science here at GCC--good to see you all.
Little League Football season is underway, my boys are both playing. The oldest even earned a starting spot at center for one game this season (they are 3 games in at the moment). The youngest is still learning that offensive and defensive linemen do not do the same thing. Great fun in the Saturday afternoon sun, rain, wind that goes on into the early evening hours.
Football in general has started. Roll Tide Roll !!!!!!!!!!!!! The Tide did not look absolutely fabulous on defense, but did have two RBs gain over 100 yards on less than 20 carries each and a first time starting QB throw for over 250 yards. GCC kicks off the season at 1:30 tomorrow vs. Juniata---GO WOLVERINES!!!!
Will try to resume some normal blogging soon.
