Of the choices I'd probably favor Vermont, Seattle, or Minneapolis, but I
wish you success in any of them, should you land the internship..

I am hoping for Seattle, not for the location (though it would rock!) but due
to the chief of the medical records department. I have heard some totally
awesome things about here. I am willing to move anywhere there is a job. In
an ideal world, it would be AA, but there is a very limited number of
hospitals, and the economics at this time are not so good. Plus I am sure
there would be some dear friends who do stop in the Seattle area if I do go
there.. or MN, or St. Louis.
I don't know what I would do in Nebraska... is there anything in Nebraska?

For weekends in A2, I would think Cleveland would be the best bet.
Cool beans Jen!!

IHB- It's almost the weekend, the hubby does NOT have to work a 16 hour
shift today, and we'll be in Ypsi tomorrow for gaming. Also, that the
annual Feb cat show in Lansing will include cat agility! :)

Same way as dog agility, except the course is smaller and it takes
longer... They have obstacles, tunnels and so on that the cats maneuver
around, they even have a ring for them to jump through- I've seen
pictures of cats that just stopped part way through the ring, deciding
to just dangle there. I've never seen it in person- so now I must go!
There's a dog show in Novi this weekend- but I haven't had luck finding
anyone who wants to go with me on Sunday and the hubby has to work. :(

I've never seen feline obstacle courses, but there is a test of cat hunting
capabilities with a long, pheasant tail feather. Quick, accurate pursuit of
the feather is a necessity for champion cats.
While we think that every cat can do this, I witnessed an absolute failure
at the test. The subject was too busy rubbing up against the judge to pay
attention to the feather. Everybody said, "Awwwwwwwwww." The judge herself
seemed pleased by the instant devotion from the cat, but scored the cat
(deservedly) harshly and explained why to the onlookers.

IHB I received an e-mail from the head of the social sciences department
at Washtenaw Community College asking about my interest in designing and
teaching a Chinese history course.

IHB our new kitten Eliot, installed in the house last Monday, is
adapting beautifully and is a lot of fun to have around.

re #179 hey congrats, that sounds like a really good opportunity. Do
you aspire to teaching? I'm sure Washtenaw would welcome someone who
has attended Harvard to their faculty.

I'm happy because:
1) I got all the remaining construction debris (so far) off my
porch and hauled away to the dump this morning, and
2) I work with some really great guys, two of whom were kind enough
to come over and help me with their pickup trucks. We hauled away
more than 1300 lbs of drywall, plywood, old flooring, etc (and it
is *not* trivial to get that stuff down from my house, thanks to the
fact that the "street" I live on is, in reality, a set of wooden
staircases and boardwalks, with 45 steps between my house and
street level.)

resp:182 No PhD is required, just a Masters degree. I do in fact aspire
to return to grad school, however I'm rethinking what I would want to
focus on. Also, further graduate study--more specifically, when I would
pursue it--would depend upon what happens in the next six months.
