Nathan dressed as Wolverwine this year. You'll notice his fierceness and strength in the photos. His best friends, Emma and Bozeman, went as a toothbrush and a mummy.

Halloween 2008
Athens is the place to be for great Halloween celebrations! In the past week we've attended a pumpkin fest, trick or treat with uptown businesses, the neighborhood treat or treat, an "after party" at the community center, and costume day at East Elementary (yes, the school lets them wear their costumes ALL day! they parade around classrooms, have parties, and eat cupcakes). Plus there's the OU event this weekend -- in the past, as many as 30,000 adults in all kinds of costumes hit the streets, bars, and beer garden.

Athens, Ohio
We live in a unique town, surrounded by beautiful mountains and full of progressive people with commitments to community, environment, sustainability, and social change. Take a look at this short article celebrating Athens:

Turns out this blog is mostly about Nathan. Not really surprising, I guess - I enjoy showing friends near and far his pictures and keeping everyone updated on his growth. The feedback I get suggests others like seeing his smiling face and reading of our adventures.
As for me, I've been spending time on Facebook. There's an interesting article in the NY Times today describing social scientists take on Facebook and introducing the concept of ambient awareness. If refers to a way of keeping in touch with your friends (and anyone, really) by following their updates and picking up on their moods digitally, either online, via text messages, and so on. It's also described as "microblogging" -- posting tiny updates on what you're doing. Twitter is another tool for this, but I haven't gotten into it yet (!).
So if you have a Facebook account, be sure to "friend" me so we can share some ambient intimacy!

Procrastination
I ran across this great YouTube clip that perfectly captures my work habits. Today is Sunday and classes start tomorrow. I'm teaching the undergrad theory (again), a proseminar to grad students, and a teaching seminar to grad students. I've yet to complete the 3 syllabi... And guess what I'm doing today? Laundry, of course!
