It's been a while.
Sorry for the radio silence. I did end up starting the other blog (the professional, identified one). I know some of you are interested, so if you want a link, you can e-mail me and I'll think about it. It takes a lot of time - about 40 minutes/post. Hopefully it will pan out if I need the plan B, though.
So what else is new?
Well, over the course of my sabbatical, I submitted 6 things. As of today, 4 have been accepted, which I feel pretty good about. NewSchool is in the process of changing standards for tenure (moving target, anyone?), so I honestly don't know if it is good enough. Two accepted ones are in journals, but it's in special issues. Does that still count? The others are papers in the top conference in basketweaving. How about that? I let Apollo take first author on one, although I wrote most of it, because he is up for tenure sooner than me. Sadly, that's the one that got top paper from its area.
I still have the same 3 things from when I last blogged that I still want to get done. I worked on one a bit today, so I feel a little better about that. I would LOVE if I could get all three done before the girls get out of school so that I could a) enjoy my kids and b) focus on teaching more this summer. We'll see.
The girls are great. Bun got a trophy at her last Tae Kwon Do testing, so she's pretty excited about that. It was for best sparring, which I guess means she's a little butt kicker. Given the recent events in Cleveland, that's actually not a bad thing, I think. I am actively searching for a self-defense class for Offspring and I to take. I'd like to do it in Krav Maga, I think, since it seems like it would have the best chance for success in the area, but let me know if I am off base in that one. Offspring got a score on the high school 2 level of the national spanish exam in the top 5 %, so she's getting an award at the next school board meeting. Which I have to miss, because our graduate basketweaving program graduates that night. Such is the story of my life.

In my discipline, special issues count equal weight.
When we submit our promotion package, we have to write a little blurb about each paper explaining what we did on the paper ... so that credit is given where credit is due.
Sounds like a very productive semester. You should be proud of your self.
