Blogoversary, sort of

Although this blog is less than a year old, this is the fourth anniversary of my blogging life, the first 3+ years spent at another, now defunct space.

When I started blogging:

1. I had not defended my dissertation.
2. I was not a parent, though Willow and I were spending a lot of time thinking about doulas.
3. I lived in the same apartment we'd been occupying for four years.
4. I was 15 pounds heavier.
5. I had one major publication.
6. I barely knew what blogging was, let alone what the academic blogosphere looked like.
7. I had never taught full-time before.
8. I was still on Book 5 of HP.
9. I had never visited Seattle.
10. Most of my closest friends lived within 30 minutes drive.
11. The best affordable local meal was not produced by a chain.
12. There was hope for a one-term Bush presidency.
13. My sister had just returned from very near Iraq.
14. There was no such thing as Project Runway.
    

Oh, I could go on. Point is, a lot's changed in four years. I've blogged a lot of it. Thanks for reading.
