Wow, it is really nice to be in Chicago in the Spring. Summer and Winter really bite, but Spring and Fall are great.
Work is going well. I have been working for a couple of years now to collect data for my main project, and that is all finally coming to a head right now. In the next few weeks, I anticipate completely wrapping this project up and sending out a first author manuscript. I'll update as this progresses.
Great news: I bought a tenor banjo this week! I traded a guitar and fiddle plus a little cash for my new c. 1930 Ludwig Dixie tenor banjo. I ordered some new strings yesterday which I think will really add to the sound, but it plays fine already. Good times! K is thrilled.
Volleyball season is back up and running. We are doing much better so far this season compared to the last one. Most importantly, we have fun and don't get too testy on the court (usually). Softball will also be starting soon (May sometime). Did I mention that Spring is great here?
Not much else going on. I hope all of my friends are well.

Sounds like things are in full swing. I was trying to tie that line into your upcoming softball season, but I am tired and I struck out. HAR!
We have been enjoying great weather in Edinburgh. It is the kind of weather that lets one either wear jeans and a sweater or shorts and a T-shirt, depending on one's mood. By "one" of course I mean me.
Glad to hear you are enjoying things in Chicago. We miss you and hope we can see you soon!

Hee hee! I can't tell you how fun it is for me to imagine you playing bluegrass! That is one trend I was never cool enough to catch up with.
Actually, a tenor banjo is not for bluegrass. It is more often used in Irish music and "fiddle tunes," in which the latter of I am most interested. So there.
Aha. I see. As I said, I was never cool enough for banjo music. I am Scottish, so I may have a innate problem with Irish music - tenor banjo or not. Time will tell.
I still think it's funny. But totally not in a making-fun-of-you way. So THERE.
