I forgot to reference the song

My blog title is from one of my all-time favorite songs -- Marty Robins "Wagon wheels" as sung by The Smothers Brothers. "Waaaaaaguhn wheeeeels, caaaary mee... hoooooome."

First post-PhD post

I'm done! Mostly. Dissertation's turned in, my advisor has all the necessary forms, and now we wait for the Graduate Office to check my formatting and finalize everything. Hooray! So I'm closing the old blog, "Dissertation with Kid," and starting a New Blog.

TM and Q and I went with some friends to the Vancouver Aquarium yesterday -- it was so much fun! I got to touch some anemones, and watch the belugas, and generally have fun. I'm starting to like living so close to the city -- there are lots of parks in which TM can play, there are beaches galore, and ferry-rides and the aquarium and the science museum (that's still on the list) and lots of preschool-type fun programs. Lots of me-type programs, too, like pottery! I might tackle some pottery sometime, who knows. My dad took a class in Barstow and loved it. He also made some really neat bowls that I got to spirit away with me when we came to Vancouver. They're the best cereal bowls ever!
