move update and ANTS!
Debi finally wrapped things up at her job in Cincinnati and is now down here with me. She had a bit more than half of our stuff still with her in Cincinnati. It is scheduled to arrive today. Once that gets here, our move will be pretty much complete. We’re trying to adjust to life…

US Airways, job update, and a photo 😉
A couple of weeks ago Debi flew down to Tampa to interview for a job (more on jobs below). For cheap, last minute flights between Tampa and Cincinnati, US Airways has great deals. So, she was booked on US Airways. And, to make the flight as cheap as possible, she flew out of Dayton, which…

new theme, new site
So, my web hosting company I’ve used for the past two years suddenly decided they didn’t want my business anymore. I went to post a book review on my blog yesterday and my website was gone, replaced by an advertisement for their company (the host was siteflip.com, which I definitely don’t recommend after this fiasco).…

move and new home
And, finally, greetings from Florida. I left Cincinnati on the 13th around 6:30 am and drove straight to Statesboro, GA, where I met up with a colleague and spent the night at his house. He works at Georgia Southern University, which has a very beautiful campus. It was fun to finally meet his wife and…

graduation
Well, it’s finally official – I graduated. I now have a PhD in Sociology from the University of Cincinnati. With a little urging from my adviser, I decided to participate in the hooding ceremony and I’m glad I did. It wasn’t particularly amazing, but it was a nice, ceremonial way to illustrate that one era…

Taste of Cincinnati
So, things are winding down for us here in Cincinnati. I’m probably headed to Tampa, mid-June, to take occupancy of the home we are buying down there. Debi will be following me shortly thereafter. After 6 years in Cincinnati we’ve been thinking of things we’ve wanted to do but haven’t done and have been trying…

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…

Iraq and life update
I got my dissertation defense date – May 4. It’s a little nerve-wracking, but it will be good to have it done. It’s kept me pretty busy lately. I also need to recommend a new local restaurant to my fellow Cincinnatians – Mama’s Hot Pot (8372 Reading Road). It opened up about a month ago…

new links
I added a couple of new links in the sidebar. The first is to a list of the places we’ve visited using Google Maps. My paternal grandparents had a map with pins in it marking all of the places they visited over the years. I liked the idea and figured out take a 21st Century…
