Six Months – Highlights for the Hiatus

16 01 2009

While flipthepig is on hiatus, here are some nice posts that I’ve run across from the last year.

There are two posts marking our purchase of a home and transformation into eastenders: here, and here.

Read our dispatches from Toronto: June 9, 2008; June 10, 2008; June 11, 2008; June 13, 2008; the rehash in New York. That was a crush of posting.

Here’s a particularly curmudgeonly entry about high fructose corn syrup.

AV’s heroics when my wallet fell down a storm drain and the beginning of our dog adventure.

Welcoming Lilly C (C is now for Claa2, thanks to my brother) in July, and Lilly’s fabulous eating habits. We thought Lilly was a basenji, but she’s not. Not even close.

The beginning of the latest Ph.D adventure. Yesterday (15 January) I mailed applications 8 and 9.

The discovery of “Gitmo on the Platte” in our backyard. Classic Becky vitriol. Starting in August, the blog took a decidedly political bent, with occasional mentions of teaching and philosophy. Here’s the post I wrote following the election. I can feel the heaviness of cynicism setting back in.
