Commitment

Yesterday was a good day. Dad wanted to go to some sort of antique car parts swap meet, and I went along, as it was in Louisville, and I've meant to get up there and screw around for a while now.

Dropped Mom&Dad off at the Fair & Expo Center, and set out to revisit some places in the city that were/are important to me. Hit most of them - The Louisville Game Shop was first on the list of course, and I got in a good hour or so of shooting the breeze with Colin (and bought a couple of books), then out to UofL's campus, to just walk around for a bit. Drove through downtown, just taking turns more or less at random.

So, Louisville definitely stays on the "Yeah, I could move there" list. There are plenty of factors left to determine what happens to me in the next year or so - new job? Grad school? A second Bachelors, instead? - but now, at least, there's a door remaining open.

*sighs* If this was '97, it wouldn't be a question - Gurney and Jon Allison were both behind me for graduate work. Like a dumbass, though, I decided to wait ... and waited more. And kept waiting. 'Cause, y'know, two of us in graduate work would have been murderous.

I'm 37. I know, realistically, the PhD is a longshot - and, frankly, I'm willing to bet that I'd say fuck-all long before I had it anywhere close to at hand. A second bachelors would be quicker, and honestly, I think it'd avoid the law of diminishing returns.

Thanks for the advice, hon. It's something more for me to think about - I'll keep you (and others) posted on what happens with me.

Don't underestimate what a different degree could do for you. If I could start over again in 2002 knowing what I know now, I'd have gone for the 2-yr associates in dental hygeine and run with it. ;)
