During all the haze with our house-selling and searching processes, I have been conducting interviews for my dissertation. I have been looking forward to this time for about two years now, so it feels good to be on a hiatus from writing and now actually conducting interviews. Feels good to be doing something more tangible for a change.
The interviews have gone well so far, with the exception of a broken tape cassette here. Please don't tell me to use a digital recorder instead, as those are worthless to me for doing my own transcriptions (I have an aged transcription machine, foot pedals and all).
I've conducted five interviews, and I think I have a sixth scheduled for after Wife and I return from Undisclosed Location. Only about four or five more, and I should be good to go. Ten or eleven hours of interview data is plenty for this study, thankyouverymuch.
I just wanted a little reminder to myself in the blog about this process, so this post is short. K, bye.

Yipee!! And, so cool for you that you have a transcription machine!! How the heck did you get a hold of that thing?
Luck!
Thanks y'all!
EA, I found the transcription machine in my dad's office after he died. I have NO idea why he had one...probably used to do some dictation for himself? I dunno. I think it's probably 30 years old, but it seems to be working just fine (knock on wood)!

Go! Go! Go!
Oh, and hope that your UD was 110% nicer than Dick Cheney's. I've no idea where he went on all of thsoe occasions, but you two deserve the best.
Totally excellent inheritance! Kudos to dad! :o)
