In the craziness of being sick, work, etc., I don't know that I've ever told everyone that an article that I wrote two years ago is going to be published for sure later this year in the Journal of Aesthetic Education. I heard about a year ago from the editor of the journal that they really liked it and wanted to publish it, but then I never heard anything more, so I assumed that it would be a long way off yet (or perhaps not at all).
So much to my surprise, about two weeks ago I received a letter from the productions editor at JAE that said this:
Dear Prof. Green,
Attached for your review is a copyedited version of your Journal of Aesthetic Education contribution, which will be appearing in the Winter 2010 (44.4) issue.
Naturally, I was pretty excited and called Josh, but I think I was sick that morning and never really told anybody else.
Tonight I finally got around to reviewing the changes, so I thought I would just take this moment to celebrate with all of you. Also, to marvel at how unabashedly I can toss out words like diegetic, contrapuntal, and specificity when writing in my academic voice (I laughed quite a bit while reading my high-falutin' English tonight).
We went to Italy. Yeah, that was as amazing as it looked. I guess you can peruse facebook if you want to see the rest (PS. Rome was the best).
Jeanette went on a mission April 2008 to Guatemala. I'm excited because we get to talk to her next week for Mother's Day.
Last summer we hiked through Zion's National Park with Josh's Grandpa and our friends Cari & Bob (might I add, in 100 degree weather).
