Cool! Yup, things are good here. Research going slowly (primarily on non-Q'anjob'al topics.) I don't think I ever told you guys, but the professor that started all the Q'anjob'al stuff got told by his tenure committee to stop working on Q so much and work on other projects, so he basically completely abandoned me. I probably know as much as he does at this point. but Q isn't my primary research area, and it's pretty hard to work on it with no support or colleagues. So I'm going to try to publish what I have and then put it on hold unless some more collegial opportunities come up. Too bad, but since YOU wouldn't be there anymore if I went back, it wouldn't be nearly as fun! Maybe someday...
