mdw is taking a PhD course this spring to ‘test the waters’ as it were for a possible deepening in her career path. This endeavor has been graciously sponsored by the ghd2 and cmd education fund and is proving to be quite pleasurable. mdw had a paper due today, the first one in eight years. In handing it in, I felt much like Ralphie's imagined response in a "Christmas Story" as he hands in his theme: "Oh! The theme I've been waiting for all my life. Listen to this sentence: "A Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time". Poetry. Sheer poetry, Ralph! An A+!"
The topic of the course is the History, Theory, and Literature of Choreography, and this quarter we are focusing on George Balanchine and Frederick Ashton. Honestly, I am loving every minute of it. I think the other students in the class hate me (true, I do all the reading plus the optional readings, and I am so enthusiastic in class discussion) with cause. It’s an interesting portal to consider and makes me think I may add a few more letters to my growing list.

I'm taking accounting classes, myself. I'm burned out on the printing industry, and the band doesn't make any money, so accounting seemed like a decent choice.
Yeaay Meghan! (and Isaac too!) Love you - hug Odin for me. CMD
