Short Midweek Update - Full Update on the Way

After an epic battle with AT&T, we have internet at home here in Detroit. I updated the blog to reflect this new phase of our lives. Apologies if the picture and mini-bio seem slightly self-centered; the idea is to give people a better idea of who I am and what we're trying to do, and the mini-paragraph about New Way Corktown that used to be on the top of the site was no longer sufficient.

Ideally we'll be back to a regular bullet-point update cycle on Monday.

Until then, let's consider some exciting bits of the last few weeks...

WINE: Macaulay and I ventured to Slows on Monday for the second installment of the summer "Muscadet Mondays." Muscadet is a white French wine, and basically this event is just free wine and conversation on the patio on Monday evenings. Dean +1

CREPES: Le Petit Zinc is a small, new(ish) French cafe around the corner from our house. Everything is delicious, especially the crepes sucrees, and I have taken many people there to experience it firsthand. Rookies this week include Thomas and my big sister Heather. Dean +1

WORK: We're in the midst of some massive system upgrades at the school. Which means I'm installing and updating dozens of new and mostly-new computers. Donors rock! Dean +1

SLEEP: I need more of it. Lots more. Terrorists +1.

FINAL SCORE: Dean 3, Terrorists 1. DEAN WINS. WIN FOR AMERICA.
