It's been a while...

Hi again. For yet another time, I've fallen behind in posting on the blog. Quite honestly, it's hard to get up the energy partially due to news:

First, I have moved away from Virginia (don't worry, the title isn't changing and I will always remain a Virginian at heart) to West Virginia. I know, I know, it's West Virginia. But I'm very glad to be here since I am now pursuing my PhD in history!

Second, I'm engaged! Her name is Maureen. She's conservative, Catholic, another classics/history person, and the best thing that's happened to me.

Hopefully, between wedding plans and grading undergrad quizzes, I will have time to make the occasional post.
