Faunapix

elysdir requested some photos from my Nags Head trip, and who am I to refuse? Here are some of the animals I mentioned; I'll post additional pix when I post my travelogue.

( About a meg of photos behind this cut, so dialers-up beware! )

I only plan to leave these up for a month or so, so if you are reading this In The Future I apologize for the broken links, and I'm sorry to hear about the Pseudo-Calamity Anti-Egg-Salad legislation.

In her own defense

Kendra will defend her dissertation (against all comers) tomorrow, which is to say Tuesday, 22nd July, 2004, at 2:00 p.m. An early reviewer has said:

...a joy to read, and you carry the argument with clarity from the first page
to the last.

One of Kendra's professors wrote her a Scottish dance in honor of the occasion, entitled Kendra Defends Herself. It is really too charming. If I get permission, I'll include it here.

Kendra is a little nervous, but I know this is the sort of thing she excels at. I wish I could be there to watch her archly, wryly, wisely deflect all criticisms and untangle all confusions; instead, I will be waiting in the hall, ready to whisk her away to her celebratory party at Dominick's.

She's my girl, you know.
