OK punky people - I have been very busy lately. Sorry I have not posted an update. But at the request of Thrashead here goes. End of term is coming next week and I had to grade many papers. Suprisingly good with some great research and suprisingly little plagarism - I like that - makes me feel I have done my job properly. I also had to create 3 final exams for the classes I teach. And I have been doing quite a bit of research for my dissertation. Including a really great interview with the daughter (87 years old) of one of the Centrailia Massacre victims in Centrailia. She gave me some great info on her father and the IWW work in Lumber camps in Washington State. In addition to all of this I have begun dating again. I met a woman at the store one day and one thing lead to another. Kind of strange. Been divorced for about a year after being married for 7 and with the same person for 9 years. The whole dating thing and letting someone new up into your life is unsettling and kind of exciting to boot. It's been kind of lonely up here in WA. I think that getting out of the house and doing something besides work will be really good for me. Well, thats all for now. I will post more regularly when term is over next week and finals are graded and grades turned in.

I'm a semester away from my BA in history. Applying to graduate schools soon, with emphasis in yellow fever epidemics in the 19th century.
