I found my password

Having found my password and having found little else to do with a dull Saturday (other than grade papers which I REFUSE to do right now) I have decided to make my first (?) posting on this lovely website.

After teaching Latin to a century of highschoolers for half a year, I have very little to show for my development as a classicist. But if you read my little comment on the last posting, you'll see that I have not been entirely idle.

Not long now ...

Andrew and I will be picking up Eric soon, then we're off to Philadelphia International to grab Mo. From there it's a late night drive to Boston and the final two days of the APA where we'll meet up with Diane and Jessica.

Better late than never, right?

HOT TIPS

yes, be sure to look for us at the APA/AIA. we will be the ones who are togate, and dennis will be sporting the laurel.

A new look for the new year!

Happy new year to all our faithful readers who doubtless have stayed tuned for nearly a month of inactivity!

You are rewarded with a fresh new look, and coming soon (thanks to occasional nudging by the Hawk) will be "the Campus Mawrtius Grad School Cheat Sheet," a handy collection of research tools available on the internet — just some of the tricks of this tricky trade.

A number of these resources require institutional subscription, which is identified by the IP address of the computer you use to log on. Ever the keen-minded helper, I've included special links for my BMC-ers for off-campus access.

That's just one of the things to look forward to in the new year.

I don't know what else there is, but we'll think of something.

And I'm sure Eric and I will have plenty to say about the APA convention (to which we'll be driving in the middle of the night Friday — in time to catch the final two days of papers and see Nick deliver an abbreviated version of his archaeology MA at the AIA).

Excelsior!
