The big news was, I started a new job last month. It’s the same profession, but at a new college, and represents a significant step up. What will that mean for this blog? A longer commute and bigger professional commitment might mean fewer posts, at least for the short term, but I’m sure read more

I'm not certain whether I've run this photo of Carole Lombard before -- I have a feeling I have, though at this stage of the day I really have no desire to check.
