Well, we’re here in Appleton; we’ve done grocery shopping; we’ve had dinner at a local pub, and I’ve met with the professor with whom I will co-teach the Gender 101 class I’ll be teaching. My first class is tomorrow, and I’m both excited and nervous about starting the term. Mostly excited.
It’s cold here, but not so cold; still, I appreciate having my boots and my very cozy coat. For now, I have Betty to keep me warm at home, but she’s leaving in the next week to head back to NY and start working herself. (But don’t worry, she’s coming to visit for Valentine’s Day, when she’ll also speak to my classes.)



Glad you both made it in safely! Drive back safely, Betty!
Welcome to Wisconsin. I’m sure you’ll fit in very nicely around Appleton. We are open minded people here and like to joke around. I’m happy to hear you had a safe trip.
I’m glad you had a safe drive. Good luck and have a great semester!
Yay! Happy 1st Day of Classes!
Nosey Lizzy wants to know where the kitty’s will be, back home in Brooklyn with Betty, or are they keeping you company out at school.
Will you split them up to share or are they a “pack” ?
Silly Lizzy
Mmmmm….beer boiled brats with cheese.

gaak! my heart!!
Watch out for those odd, Pluto-hating astronomers that hang out in Appleton.
Break a leg, Helen!
I heard that!
And I’m not odd. I’m even.
lizzy: endymion & aeneas are with me, & aurora crankypants is at home, waiting for betty’s return, being taken care of by our downstairs neighbor, who has fallen in love with her.
oh I’m glad you have the fellas to keep you company. I think being away from Betty must be hard, but without a cat… undoable !
