Oooof

Super, super busy lately. I've started taking singing lessons and piano lessons in addition to dancing once a week and singing in the church choir with Rose. And then, since I didn't have enough to do, I agreed to translate a journal article for a really awesome professor I used to study under at Bochum in my olde tyme days as an exchange student.

So I'm swamped and won't have time to craft fine paragraphs to grace this blog for the next little while. Sorry about that. Hopefully in two or three weeks things will settle down and I'll have a few stories to share.

In the meantime, this: I've just gotten my first paycheck at my new job. I lean left politically, but seeing nearly half my income get eaten by taxes and social security makes me want to curl up in front of some Glen Beck with a can of Bud.
