Selling Sno-Cones at the Beach

Phinished!

(this is a duplicate of my entry at my other blog, "Preliminary Reflections.")

I successfully defended my dissertation this morning! Whew! - it was actually enjoyable: a delightful intellectual conversation with some really well-informed and thoughtful committee members.

Revisions are extremely minor: revise the abstract to reflect more accurately the contributions that my work makes, and removing a table (and the references to it) that doesn't really do what I had hoped it would. If I can get this done over the weekend, I can submit on Monday and be done.

So, yay! On to publishing articles! And yeah - I am supposed to submit an abstract today for a conference over Halloween weekend. Getting right on that....
