*M gave a "brown bag" talk for his department. This means he presented his research ideas to a bunch of professors and fellow grad students. It went well! He is hoping to take his qualifying exam before the end of summer. After that, he is "ABD": All But Dissertation.
*Matthew will have surgery on his right foot on Friday morning (9:45 pacific time). He's had plantar fasciitis for over a year now. He will get the left foot worked on in about a month if all goes well with the right foot.
*M leaves on Wednesday for "FATR" (Fellowship at the River), the yearly gathering of college buddies from M's UT Knoxville days. There will be fly fishing, poker, gourmet cooking, and the like. OK, I don't know about the cooking-- I'm guessing that they make do and are glad to go home to their wives after the trip. (In my case, I'll be glad M is coming home; he's the real chef in the family).
*A loves gymnastics and is looking forward to swimming classes.
*G will give a paper at the Northern California Renaissance Conference this Saturday afternoon.
*G will graduate with her MA in English on June 15th.
