I'm still at the rehab facility healing my broken bones (work in that area is progressing slowly, but it is progressing), but the corporate office had blocked a lot of networking/blogging sites, thus my absence. However, my laptop crashed Saturday, necessitating the need to purchase a new one. I picked out a sweet little number -- a Sony Vaio with 6 GB of RAM, a 640 GB hard drive, and amazing graphics with which to measure my fish heads -- and I decided to splurge on a mobile broadband device so I can do the Internet my way. I feel like I'm channeling my techno-geek brother.
In other news -- my most recent fishy paper has been accepted for publication! After four and a half years, at least a dozen revisions, and three journals, it's finally in! ::D does the happy dance:: It should be published electronically sometime this week, but I'm not sure when it will be in print.
How are all of you?

I am very glad your paper is going to be added to academic lore and cited and read for this and following generations. Your persistence and determination as personal traits are the evidence of this paper seeing print. I am sure one edit ago or one journal ago it was just as worthy academia, but until it had filled its purpose you did not give up. I really respect that.
Thanks, Beth. Your support, both as a fellow academic and as a friend/sister, is very important to me. I'm sorry I've been so absent recently. I thought about you a lot this past weekend after an incident with a family member. I'm preparing a blog entry about it, and I know you will completely understand my frustration.
*hugs*
