Ok, so it doesn't really work like that; the American tax payers can breath a sign of relief that their money is not being thrown at a deranged burgeoning scientist like me, rather, your money is more likely being thrown on the dusty roads of Mideastern countries. But that's another blog entry. It doesn't help that Portland has been bathing in glorious October days. Last Saturday was truly the worst distraction to my work since the Legend of Zelda Gamecube release. Kristin and I did all things Rock-Tober that day, including a coffee-fueled drift through downtown, a couple of Oktoberfest pints at the Lompoc (yes, while working on my grant), and an evening with friends in the pun-adelic Amazing Maize Maze (I'll leave it up to you to figure that out). But today, it's cloudy! This is good news. I plan to stay indoors and distract myself as long as possible checking my e-mail, updating my meticulous iTunes playlists, and, of course, writing blogs.

A Title With No Puns!
Ok, Ok...it's been way too long since I've updated this because I know that millions of people check my blog everyday because my life is so much more interesting than anyone else's. I could blame it on a lot of things, namely the NSF grant I'll be married to this week. Ahhh....grants. This is my first of a long career writing to make my science sound interesting enough to have people throw money at me.

No...I check hourly! Glad to know why there has been no "Dustin Sighting"! Wishing and praying you are awarded that grant.
Fun to see such a cute face introducing this entry!
Sending a Vanilla-Mocha CHEER to you both as October ends.
