I don't know how you do it; I truly don't but you set an amazing example. I will be back. Probably with less frequency than in the past but hopefully more than in the recent past. Maybe some more considered pieces. First, I have a move to accomplish. I'll be trying to get settled in quickly and getting back on the horse, so to speak. I have an appointment with my thesis advisor on Friday and am hoping we can set me on a course that will be productive towards that end. By the way, knock 'em dead on your comps! I know you will. :) Ah, Christina, my friend. I don’t know how you do it; I truly don’t but you set an amazing example.

And I sincerely hope you can find a way to deal with the energy sapping. That is a frequent issue for me, too. I am hoping now that I'll get research time this year that some of that can be mitigated. I wish you the best! Thanks so much, Angel!

I know the feeling. I have not been keeping up with people the way I should, or at least feel that I should. There are many topics I have wanted to write about but either chose not to for assorted reasons, or just never got to. Having someone in my life that I can talk to on a daily basis has lessened my need to write here. That doesn't mean that I don't want to but only that I don't feel the need so strongly. I, too, fear I haven't found my professional voice. I sort of had (as in felt) for a while but that voice was far too strident. I still want to do the sorts of critiques that I (attempted) but I need a better way of going about it. All in good time I hope. For both of us. I have you in my aggregator so when you do decide to post I will see it. Lots of people's blogging has fallen off but the aggregator is there especially for folk's like us. Steve, thanks so much.

I do miss your blog posts - a lot! Not to stress you, I'll wait until you're ready to come back to blogging, I just hope you decide to. Yes, congratulations on all fronts.

I am happy to hear about them. I have been blogging a bit less as well, mostly due to work which saps a lot of time and energy (and not all in a good way). I have the ideas of stuff I want to write; it is just finding the time to write them out. But still hanging in there. As always, best and keep on blogging.

Sorry. It's like I not only post to my blog very much, I hardly keep in touch with anyone anymore, period. Congratulations on just about all fronts! Know that I am very happy to hear about these positive developments. Finally, I am in the same boat regarding blogging. I'm going to keep at it but won't get too stressed if I don't post for long stretches until I really have something to say that's worthwhile. Especially on professional topics, where I feel like I have yet to really find my voice. Steve I’ve been meaning to write to you for a long time, Mark. Sorry.
