Blogging
Well, I know I’ve been gone for ages, save for the occasional photographic evidence that I haven’t died yet up here in the Boston area. For those who may have missed me, I’m happy to report at least three circumstances that indicate I’ll be around here more:
1) Final exams are over, as of today. It was “a level” stats and “a level” econ, for which I had to teach myself multivariate calculus, that have kept me so distracted. The more I solve equations, the more difficult it is to write, for some reason. Next semester doesn’t properly start until February 2nd, so I should have a good spurt of blogging before I’m snowed under again.
Of course, I have to write papers and articles for work and school between now and then. But these should, if history is any guide, have a salutory effect on my blogging. Blogging is always more fun than anything one is somehow obliged to write, just as pleasure reading is ever so much nicer than assigned reading.
2) The embarrasing truth is that my switch from PC to Apple in August had the mysterious effect of eliminating the HTML buttons on my Moveable Type interface. I’m so adverse to typing in the HTML by hand that I’ve just not been writing here. However, Lane has pointed me to a website that should make coding much easier.
3) Between the 23rd and the 8th, I’ll be at my parents’ home in Honolulu. Nothing to do there but blog … and of course lay on the beach in my yellow bikini with a Mai Tai or two.

"Prom"
The Winter Masquerade Ball. For charity, of course...
Slovakian refugee (okay, just kidding!), I mean expat Peter âSloveniaâs-a-completely-different-countryâ Mraz brings his unique style to hip-hop.
Merideth and Lauren, like the rest of us, intoxicated by education and opportunity.
Fellow Catoite David Kirby with debate friend Candace. Theyâre fuzzy because theyâre a little tipsyâ¦
The inimitable Weatherly Ralph with masked admirer.
Erica Simmons with a couple of our British classmates, the delightfully dry Andrew Whitehouse and the understated, ironic Andrew Dunn.
