Apologies for the week without posts. I wrote three posts while on the road for the start of recruiting season but didn't get a chance to post them. I've backfilled them in: Emory on the 14th, the University of Washington on the 15th, and Columbia on the 17th. I don't always do this much traveling, but Anonymous Wife sprained her ankle while getting a pedicure and so she's been even more demanding than usual and I figured I'd get out of town for a few days.
