Happy Birthday to ME!

This is a totally gratuitous and meaningless post, but I just wanted to point out that today is my fifth 29th birthday - or in "regular" counting that's 33. I really don't feel that old. Ten years ago I would have thought I'd have a couple of kids and be a real college professor by now. Instead, I'm still working on my dissertation . . . but I do have a dog and just bought a house in the suburbs, so I'm getting there. In any case, here's to life leading you to places you didn't expect you'd go.

Anyone in the DC area can come out to Mate tonight from 6:30-10pm to help me celebrate. And buy me drinks, of course :)

David and I are heading to NYC this weekend. For my birthday I wanted to go to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). Maybe I'll take some cool pictures of the cutting edge design we see there and post them on my blog on Monday.
