The leaves are turning, the goldenrod is spent, and even the asters are looking a bit old. As for me, I continue to do as well as can be realistically hoped. At every point, if I look back a month or more, I can see that I have continued to make progress.

Things are very quiet around here, though, in the absence of medical crises. Away from the hustle and bustle of a job or young children, the larger world can get to feeling a bit remote. It's as though there are two, not quite intersecting worlds: one larger one, in which everyone is way too busy and stressed, and one smaller one, in which people are isolated and even under-stimulated.
Gita, meanwhile, is solidly in the busy world. She has been applying for lots of jobs this fall and is now getting a number of interviews. She also spoke at a rally in Atlanta last weekend in defense of science funding. Anand and I are immensely proud of her and look forward to finding out where she will land next.
Is she looking only in the US, or also in Canada or Europe or elsewhere? I'm glad you're feeling so peaceful away from the Wider World - I need to emulate that, given my tendency (which sometimes leaks into my comments here) to overworry about the current state of the WW....
