Summer
Now's the time us smart academic folks start thinking of summer...the glorious time when we stop getting paid (more or less) but can also do whatever we want (not really). Some early plans:

  • Drive from Texas to Detroit
  • Finish up a few articles in the mix
  • Work on the Detroit book
  • Hope the Cool book gets the publisher I want it to get so I can go up for tenure early
  • Drink beer
  • Go to the Three Floyds brewery and drink beer
  • Use my highly persuassive charm and oh so gentle manner to recruit friends to apply for an upcoming opening here at Wayne (THIS MEANS YOU).
  • Be the man
  • Go to the Bell's brewery and drink beer
  • Finish the basement bathroom
  • Paint
  • Finally get blinds put up
  • Take photographic tours of the city (and, of course, blog 'em)
  • Finally force Gainesville friends to get the hell up here and visit
  • Get a part time gig as an NBA scout
  • Make everyone agree with me
  • Ask someone what SHE wants to do
  • Blog, blog, blog 'till my daddy takes the keyboard away

    Ain't my fault a sartain SHE didn't write her essay.

    Plus, beer.

    SHE wants to dig her toes in the dirt while sipping sangria. SHE wants to read outside while getting a tan and listening to headphones blaring Willie Nelson songs. SHE wants to draw scary faces on the sidewalk with chalk--faces so scary they frighten the neighbors. SHE wants to make prank phone calls to her brother. SHE wants to raise a family of turtles in the backyard. Mostly, though, she just wants to REST.

    NOW is the time? I've been thinking about summer since January.

    I have two additions to your list:

    * Get Dilger to work on the Tag A book and drink beer
    * Go see Dilger to sit in his backyard and work on the Tag A book and drink beer
