Dan's week is improving after the lawnmower debacle. In fact, I learned this week that having your lawmower stolen in East Nashville is really a rite of passage. Check out this story by my NewsChannel5 reporter colleague about East Nashville's sense of humor regarding or quirky neighborhood:

His week didn't just get better because of the news story. I have been making friends with Dan's fellow Vanderbilt sociology grad students. One, Emily, used to work with the Center for Biomedical Ethics in Society at Vanderbilt. After I told her about Dan's research interests, she dropped his name to the director, who contacted him. He will be able to work with her on research within his interest, get paid and get published. And since many professors at Vandy don't expect their TA's to do a lot of work, he will have time to pursue these other opportunities.
Things are going well--we are still piecing together the house and getting settled in.
Don't forget to start planning your visit to Music City!

Jan, so sorry to hear about your lawn mower ordeal and Dan's injury! I take it he's ok?? Has your poochie been trained as a guard dog yet?? She needs a spike collar! haha Nora
So if/when you get a new lawnmower, are you going to decorate it then?
