Talking 'bout my dissertation!

Hi! I'm back. Yes, it's been awhile. I finished my data collection. I made a few mistakes, some of which were very large and ugly and the whole thing turned into a soap opera. Unfortunately I can't talk about any of that here but if you're ever in the L.A. area and want to go out for a drink, please let me know.

I will try to be back (don't know if anyone is even reading this anymore...is this thing on? hello?) with more generic fun about the analysis and writing portion of my diss. Suffice it to say that I am very happy the data collection portion is over, although the Ecuador component was much less painful than the Pacific Northwest portion.
