Tilda's crying waiting for a Pacific northwesterner to read about her. Or, it might be gas, or she might have peed in her diaper, or she might want to eat.

goodnight Seattle, the space needle, where I'm from map widget
Goodnight Seattle, we love you. That's how that old jingle went. And I do love Seattle. I lived there for three years. Felt my first earthquake there. I even nearly proposed to my wife in the Space Needle, instead I proposed on my knee in a restaurant down the street from the Space Needle. And I blog for me and for my Tilda. I wanted to try and blog and then along came Tilda and I thought, this is a good reason to blog. So, I blog. But, I recently added a little widget to my blog that has little dots showing where blog readers are reading from, where in the world that is. I think this map is fun. I've always loved it when restaurants or whatever sort of establishment has a country map with pins and you put a little pin in the location of where you're from. Its fun for me to check the map and see my coverage. However, I'm obsessed with the complete absence of pins anywhere in the northwestern US. Thank you Beautiful BC and Albertosauruses. But, no one in Washington, Oregon, Montana, or Idaho have visited my blog. So please Seattle, visit my blog.

I have been visiting various blogs for my term papers writing research. I have found your blog to be quite useful. Keep updating your blog with valuable information... Regards
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. I will continue to update the blog and I can only hope that the information will be useful. Stay in school.
ReplyDeletePortland (well, technically Beaverton), Oregon reader here! Just found your blog searching for grad school and babies/pregnancy. My husband and I are thinking about trying to have a child the summer before I would start grad school (2 year program), which would be the summer before his last year in a PhD program. Trying to figure out if I'm crazy or not :-)

Thanks for commenting and visiting from the northwest. It was just driving me bongos that my visitor map was blank up there.
ReplyDeleteIf you're in or headed for grad school then your craziness has nothing to do with whether or not you have a kid. You're there. But, it is possible, and my wife and I are not alone. My office neighbor will and there have been and are other people in our department with kids. Both my wife and I are near the end of our PhDs so that might make it a bit easier as neither of us are taking classes anymore. It is hard though and spinning up research takes a lot of focus. Things to consider are some universities actually have maternity leave. We do not, but my wife's friend had a baby in another PhD program, other university, at about the same time as us. And she got maternity leave.
