Had a great, wonderful time with Emily tonight. I made us pork chops and kale, she brought us a special beverage. Dinner conversation topics included: reading The Order of Things; abandoning The Order of Things; professional conferences; alienating professional colleagues by criticizing gay marriage movements; sociology journal rankings versus library science journal rankings; her new book contract; my new book from the library. Whereas my next profesh conference, ASA, is in Boston, Emily’s, ALA, is in Anaheim, aka Disneyland, so after dinner I gave her a haircut (fall-back career fall-back, if the cafe tanks) to make sure she is looking sharp when she hits the teacup-n-saucers ride. She is. Librarians, watch out.
And, btw, did you know Emily’s blog is inspiring a new sub-genre of minutae blogs? Introducing What I Saw Riding My Bike Around Today and Stuff I Saw and Did While Going About My Business Today and How I Felt About It.

Craig, you’re so right about the haircut! I washed-and-dried it this morning and looked at myself in the mirror and said, “Hey, you!” Thanks for all. I’ll send photos.
I too had a haircut the day you sheared Emily. How interesting. Thanks for visiting my blog–I heart yours. Someday perhaps we can chat offline about stats.
