this blog is about transitions: urban to rural relocation, garden making, house renovating, cancer surviving and tenure getting. But mostly it is about being fully, imperfectly alive.

bday bruhaha
slightly tipsy at 1:11 am on my birthday. We just came in from seeing a local band in which one of my students is the bassist. Not only was I serenaded with a Beatles' cover birthday song, but we also got our friend/my colleague David to do a couple of songs with the band. and all the while it snowed outside.
happy b-day - welcome to 33! i am in st. louis and i got you a present at the Zoo. hee hee. it's not a penguin or a puffin or a baby orangutan, which are the animals i saw with my grandma today.
i showed my wisconsin family your ice races video. we have tractor pulls and goulash in southwest WI but no ice races or booyah. i am amazed at the vast cultural differences from one end of the state to the other.
I am a fortysomething queer woman living in Northern Wisconsin with my partner of 19 years. Since our move from Seattle in 2007 we have transformed our house, grown a big garden, grown a big community, survived cancer, and continued to work hard on living a life worth living. For my bread and butter I am an academic. I also write about that sometimes.
