Laurie and I got a Bichon Frise puppy named Chompsky (a purposefully misspelled homage to Noam Chomsky). You can see pictures of him here. He has a bad case of BPS (Blurry Puppy Syndrome); this is caused by an energetic puppy moving so fast that he cannot be captured accurately on film.
This blog seems to be turning into a biannual newsletter. Let me summarize what’s been going on since my last post.
In September, Lindsey came to Austin to celebrate her birthday. Unbeknownst to her, Michael and Ted arrived secretly a couple hours before her. We all surprised her at the airport - it was probably the [...]
So it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been busy. We managed to get our apartment unpacked (with the help of Michael and Jody). We love the place we live. Our unit is huge (~1250 sq. feet) and our patio is ~30 feet from one of our complex’s pools. [...]

Laurie and I spent Christmas down in Florence. After that we drove up to the Liberty Bowl with Amanda Pinion and Sarah Crowe. There, we met Moug, Dirtbag, Amanda (Ringer), Nathan, Craig, and Spencer. We hung out on Beale Street, but the most fun was when we went to GRACELAND!!!! Pictures here.

Grades are in; I made all A’s again.
The biggest news is that I got a job offer from Lockheed Martin in Boulder, Colorado. It’s a great offer and I love the location, so I’ve accepted contingent upon Laurie getting into University of Colorado (which she almost certainly will).
I’ve been working on my thesis since [...]
