Is this thing still on?

I had very good intentions of maintaining this blog on my three-week vacation back in May and June, uploading some photos from the Midwest and Spain and commenting on my journeys as I went along. The pace of my travels kept me from doing it in real-time, and since I got back I've been swamped with work and preparations for my trip to Australia. A quick summary of what's been done on that front since June 12:

• Bought plane tickets
• Found a place to live
• Whittled my prospectus into something remotely researchable
• Began to set up the financial side of things
  

Beyond this, I'm revising a paper, writing a paper, and gathering data for two more papers I hope to write in Australia. Oh, yeah, and working as an RA on a very cool project looking at the brief heyday of hospital rate-setting commissions in the 1970s and 1980s. So, keeping busy!

I'll try to post some pictures from Michigan and Spain in the near future.
