Vacation Day 1: I should have been a carpenter…

So, I took a vacation day today. Tomorrow, the official Christmas break begins and no more work until January 3rd. This is one of the best features of working in Academia. I was supposed to be working on my dissertation today, but last night I came home to Kristin sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor picking up utensils that had fallen out of one of the drawers. Our cabinets are pretty old and the back of the drawer had come loose, causing the bottom to fall out. Much too much of today entailed a trip to Home Depot and drilling and screwing. However, the end result is a fully repaired drawer. I always enjoy fixing things too. I should have been a carpenter...

If you’re interested, I can put you to work. The desire to be a carpenter will be gone by noon. See you wed., buddy.
