So I actually got to sit outside today and smoke a cigar for the first time since the early fall, which was great... I also was unable to watch any baseball this afternoon. Why, you might ask? Well the mlb schedule makers in all their shrewd business savvy decided that the second day of the season would be a bad time for afternoon games. Awesome, no?

Anyhow... An interesting opportunity has been afforded to me. I may be able to work for a Philly law firm helping immigrants apply for permanent resident status, and make $40k a year to start, plus overtime. Sounds awesome, right? Except of course that my masters in history will basically be for nothing. I mean, I'd not like to make a career out of this type of job, but it would pay the bills, especially since I will have loans to pay back and a wedding to finance. I'm thinking of it as more of a place-holder kind of job; something to pay the bills till I find a more permanent job in history... Please, if you have an opinion, let me know what you think...

To somewhat complete my previous post, and to appease those of you with voyeuristic tendencies (ahem, Handy, ahem), C and I got engaged at a Valley Forge National Historic Park at sunset on Thursday March 13th, near the Muhlenberg Brigade Encampment site. It was great, there were deer and foxes and it was wonderful. C and I then went out to a lovely dinner, where she proceeded to sully her new possession with globs of rib sauce. Happy everyone?
