Well, apparently my little adventure with the curb last month did more damage to my car than I thought, and the front wheels can’t be properly aligned without further repair. They’ll perform the alignment itself under warranty (since they would have done that today if they hadn’t discovered this new problem), but I’m out $100 or so for the additional new parts. They recommended I not drive the car more than necessary until the repairs are done, a fact that might have been nice to know before I drove about five to six hundred miles this past weekend. Hopefully, they’ll have the parts in by Friday and I can get this taken care of as quickly as possible.

Spent the weekend in New York for Easter and most of yesterday on the road getting back. Got up about an hour early this morning to bring my car to the dealership so I can get the front shocks replaced. Am rather tired right now, but at least I get to leave early today so I can pick up the car, and there’s a two-hour staff luncheon this afternoon.

Other than that, I have nothing to report. I do, however, have this blurry photograph of the puppy my parents bought recently. My sister wants to call him Tucker. The family they’re buying him from calls him Elmo.

You know, I don’t expect a lot from the campus newspaper — in November, after all, they ran an article on whether or not students on campus were wearing winter coats — but these two recent articles are really a stretch, even by their standards:

Suddenly, articles I’ve written for the Monty Python Society newsletter (like Boxtopia, Penguins, and Death Be Not Proud) don’t seem half as silly.
