So, I've been mostly out of touch around here for a while now, so I thought I'd offer some news. First, I successfully defended my dissertation, just a bit of paperwork shuffling by the bureaucrats and I'll officially be Dr. Nelson in December. We have also moved to Virginia, where my wife will be starting grad school herself at the end of the month. This move has been the hardest I've experienced, mostly because I sprained my ankle just 2 days before we had to load the truck and start driving (nurse practioner said it was the single worst sprain she'd ever seen, too). So all in all, an adventurous couple of weeks just passed.
