Today, with yet another 4-year-old in and out of the lab, I have completed 10% of my dissertation data collection.  This is certainly not the first large-scale project for which I have collected data, and it certainly will not be the last.  However, there’s something very special about a dissertation.  It’s a chance to practice all that I have learned.  It’s a chance to explore a topic about which I am very passionate.  And it’s a chance to have fun.

So here’s to the other 90%.  It will be a fun ride.
