Here we are, it's a loverly Tuesday morning in Texas. I'm drinking my cappuccino at what amounts to the last week and a half of my working at the job I've been at for the last four years. It's kind of exciting, really.

For those of you who don't know, I'll be actually off this Summer, before starting graduate school in the Fall. I'm going to be in the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies, pursuing further my Czech work. I'm really really ecstatic about all that. With any luck, my research project, the Texas Czech Dialect Project will find success. I was in Brno, South Moravia, Czech Republic a couple of weeks ago at a conference. I presented a paper there on Texas Czech musics. It was very well received.

In other news, my sister, Lisa, is coming home from the Navy soon. I can't wait to have her back. It's always best to have family around. You'll never appreciate them if you don't see their true value.

Well, I need to get back to working on a final paper for Medieval Warfare, it's on Jan Žižka, and whether or not he was a fanatical religious general or an opportunistic brigand. I say he is both.

Until next time, Space Cadets!
