New Year

Happy New Year to all DBCers out there. I hope those of you who traveled to Chicago for MLA made it out alive. I was in the Fairmont and I swear it was just pulsing with panic. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday, as well.

I'm back to dissertation writing and need to prepare/polish a few job talks, so I'll keep you posted on that. I wrote 1100 words today, so I'm feeling good about that. I should have this chapter done in a few days (thought I'd have it done before I left, but didn't quite get there). My job talk will probably come out of this chapter, so that will help me revise it as well.

Hope everyone out there is doing well and, like Billie, I wish you all a calm, joyous, and productive year.
