[Heeee Haaw!] 

Yes folks, I'm there. And "there" is not where I'd care to make my lair. Nah, it's not that bad, really. I'm in the dead center of Atlanta, which so far has been pretty sweet. Only problem I have so far is the traffic. Everyone here seems to think themselves a Nascar driver. You constantly need to be checking to see if anyone needs your lane. I walk.

And yes! The boy is here. Though unfortunately I had to leave soon after he was born (grrr), so I've missed him for the last 3 weeks. We're keeping an online picture diary for Tamlyn, which helps me pass the time. But Lee and Tam will be here soon (Sept. 9th!) and I'm having a difficult time thinking of anything else. Well, except for school.

My PhD program seems pretty rough so far. Of the two classes I'm taking this semester, I could teach one of them, but of the other I can hardly grasp a thing. But the weight is really in the research anyways. I've just found a project that I'm excited to work on. It concerns itself with the development of high energy structural materials using high strain rate data. Yeah...but we get to shoot a projectile at a sample at upwards of 1200mph! I'll get you a picture once I get some data.

Well, that's the short of it. I'm currently struggling with an assignment so that I can hand it in early before Lee gets here. I'd hate to have to work on it when they show up.
