Parents' Perspective in the Post!

Sandy and Linda were featured in a wonderful article in the Washington Post today.

Congratulations!

movin' on up

Steve has just been named Chair of the English Department at Macalester. It's a big honor with big commitments to go along with it, but I'm pretty excited for him and know that he will be a terrific chair. On the down side, this means that he has to postpone his leave that was scheduled for next spring. On the upside, he gets two course releases next year, which means he'll be teaching two classes in the fall and one in the spring.

In other, less exciting news, I am now experiencing "pregnancy-related nausea," the newer, more accurate term for morning sickness. Oh the joys of the human body!

Five poems in Avatar Review's Spring 2005 issue.

Also, our official Estimated Date of Delivery is January 2, 2006. Miraculously, I am still not experiencing nausea. I could, however, sleep all day.

we have news

We're apparently pregnant. Yes, we are excited. No, we don't have an exact due date yet, but it'll probably be around New Year's. I'm off to the doctor tomorrow, at which point we should have a lot more information.
