survey fail
I received this fun little piece of mail the other day: If you click on it you’ll see that it says, “Dear Toren Cragun; WE VALUE YOUR OPINION.” It then proceeds to ask him to fill out a survey evaluating his recent doctor’s visit. I considered being a bit snarky and sending back the survey…

news and a funny quote
I successfully defended my dissertation yesterday! Hooray! A few minor revisions and I can finally turn my attention to getting chapters from it published. With all the preparation the defense required, I basically haven’t been doing much else – including blogging. But life has continued… I’m grading mid-terms from the three classes I’m teaching this…
