Tickled pink.

I am extremely flattered that my good friend Kim, the muse who inspired me to start blogging in the first place, saw fit to nominate little old me for a Perfect Post award. I mean gee, I pretty much know everyone out there who reads this blog, so a little recognition in the blogosphere is good for the ego. Not only did she see fit to nominate me, she also wrote a very touching post about it, and then she managed to do something I don't think anyone else has ever done (besides me, and maybe my parents)... find my PhD thesis online!

So just call this my (unexpected, not quite what I envisioned!) fifteen minutes..
