(Hrmm, for some reason, the computer I was on had a significantly screwed-up clock setting. D'oh!)
Yes, I'm alive. Just digging out.
1) Presented my "annual" work-in-progress talk, on 10/10. It was very well received. Shouldn't have to build a talk that large (or that significant) again, until I defend the dissertation.
2) Survived the departmental retreat (in Gull Lake, MI) from 10/12-10/14. Was the fireman for a pair of sizable bonfires, and thus avoided drinking much of the so-so beer provided.
3) Have many of the components of my Halloween costume. Still needs significant assembly, but I've got, oh, 5 and a half days before it debuts.
4) However, I'm cranking through a lot of material at work to provide some important data to the boss before the middle of next week. She's writing grant applications to fund the lab, I like being paid.
5) I'm in fairly good health (survived the season's first nasty cold a few weeks back, but I've something quite strained in my right shoulder), but I've been so busy I've dodged the gym for a few weeks, until this morning (vicious gym, it sprang up right in front of me and sucked me in, only to spit me out an hour later, sweating and sore).
Right. Back to work.
