Yeesh. There goes last January's resolution to post more often around here....

On the plus side, the Web-hosting move is done, and home life here in Darkest Suburbia remains more or less calm. On the other side, there are a lot of projects in assorted categories on which I'm even farther behind than I am on posting to Dreamwidth. I am hoping to make some progress on some of those in the coming week, but We Shall See.

I did, in fact, get to Ashland again this year, though not till the very end of the OSF season, and saw Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night, and The Three Musketeers. All were thoroughly worthwhile, with Twelfth Night being far and away the standout production; I had some issues with the adaptation of Musketeers, and some with the staging of R&J, but both come under the umbrella of "your mileage may vary".

I also got to Walla Walla for the (mumble)th reunion of my collegiate graduating class, and quite enjoyed the chance to prowl the campus and get a look at life under Whitman's new president. (We have a high-powered physicist now after several decades of Presidents from various of the humanities, which looks like it's going to be interesting. We are also embarked on a brand new fund-raising campaign, as often happens with the arrival of new leadership.)

In other news, a third member of the southern branch of the family has now become a public school teacher (and is in the same building as her mother, no less!). There is no evidence to this point of undue dimensional collapse due to statistical improbability in their immediate vicinity, but I may have to evaluate the situation further when I go down for a planned visit in the near future.

And that's the state of the expatriate English major as fall continues to fall here in Darkest Suburbia. Tune in again soon, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel....
