I awoke this morning to an encouraging message about the latest new blog on
\nthe block.  Fellow CCRer Jen Wingard launched Fear
\nand Trembling (in Academe)<\/a> <\/i>over the weekend.  Already, entry no. 2
\nis a riff on Texas, which is sure to rustle up some Lone Star snarl.  For
\nme, it’s a must-add to the blogroll–smart, thoughtful writing and a great way
\nto give interested attention to stuff going on with others in the grad
\nprogram.  <\/p>\n

Added: Recent entries are brief not because my brain is mush but rather because I’m typing with mittens on. Yeah, mittens. It’s -7 F this AM. We have heat, I think, and the furnace is working its blower off, but seven below feels pretty cold right now. Enjoy Texas, Jen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
