A salute to Garrison Keillor

Time to blog, anais says. And she's right.

It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon....there, that's my salute to Garrison Keillor. One of my small pleasures in life is listening to this show on a quiet Saturday late afternoon. But, in a household where my wife and my son constantly bicker for control of the TV remote control, Garrison doesn't stand much of a chance. Unless they are both out of town and I am home alone.

So it has been a quiet week. My wife and son are visiting the left coast, the TV has been off - except for brief periods of March Madness. Which I much prefer to re-runs of "I love Lucy". I have had enough of Lucy and her games. And the undergraduates have disappeared to the southern playgrounds.

I've been able to catch up on some work that had been piling up. And make some headway on a proposal for what is likely to be a fierce competition for my lab's share of the stimulus money.

Tonight is my last night of quiet time. Just in time for the next round of March Madness. Enjoy the games - I will!
