I'm changing my aya email address so that it's now my first name dot my first last name hyphen my second last name @aya.yale.edu. While i think my gmail address is easier to both type and remember, i'm hoping this will make contacting me a little less of a guessing game for people who have reason to do so.

I've been sick all weekend,and trying to get over this ill timed and fairly severe cold, as colds go, by sitting around and not doing too much. Back to work tomorrow -- and this weekend is my mother's 60th birthday party (twenty three days early,) combined with a minor clusterfuck of family obligations and houseguests I just found out about yesterday. So i'm hoping i'm feeling better by then.
