Green Thumb, etc.

My cousin Heather started her own blog recently, which reminds me that I haven’t updated this thing in forever.  I’m a bad, bad blogger.

Grad School is going well.  It’s not yet as much of a time commitment as I feared, and my grades have been good.  I’m wrapping up my first seminar on May 22nd, with a couple of weeks off before classes start up again in June.

The big news over the past couple of months is that I started a new assignment at work, returning to my roots at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  I had a lengthy transition from my old client, but I’ve fully moved over to FDIC as of April 15th.  I have two years of experience there, so there hasn’t been too much of a learning curve.  I am enjoying it so far.

I’ve also picked up a bit of a hobby recently.  My friend Jamie and I got plots at the community gardens in Fort Dupont Park.  Here are a few pictures, courtesy of Jamie.

So far it’s been a lot of fun.  I’ve planted various kinds of tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach, collard greens, green beans, catnip, cucumbers and squash, and I’ve got plenty more land to fill.

Other than that, not much else to report.  A bit of travel coming up–New York City for Memorial Day Weekend and hopefully home to Southeastern Massachusetts for the 4th of July Weekend.
