I've been blogged.

Most of my days are full of teaching and writing. But last week I got a phone call from a PR person at my undergraduate alma mater saying they wanted to learn more about my research and recent book project. I always find it a bit strange to be on the other end of an interview, after starting my career as a nosey journalist asking people I didn't know many questions. The results of this conversation emerged in blog form.

If you look really close in the right hand corner of the picture you will even see me attempting to "hump it" during the "yell practice" (I know it sounds bad, but that's what they call it when you bend over and then cheer for the home team!)
