The Anvil is Gone. Long live the anvil.

I named this blog when I was working through a PhD with a growing family.

I've completed my PhD and had a fun career since then.  My family has continued to grow and now three of the eight children have graduated high school and are off on adventures.  Our fourth graduates this spring, leaving only four at home.

So somehow we made it through the time intensive years with youngsters and did just fine.

But of course there's still an anvil to carry up that mountain -- plenty of goals and expectations and weaknesses to overcome.  But I'll keep moving and I think we'll get where we need to go.
