Next to the school of the kids. Haarlem noord. Awesome 1935 house with beautiful wooden floor and stained glass. Seems like we can settle here for a while.

At the Botermarkt, Haarlem

Yeah, how about that. We moved to Holland. We live in Haarlem. I work for the University of Amsterdam, Department of Sociology and Anthropology: http://home.medewerker.uva.nl/d.h.devries/. Lucky me, or so I thought until I realized they aren’t so… uhm…”organized” is I guess the right word? Still, I am thrilled to work in Amsterdam and be back in the lowlands near my dear parents. Miss the heck out of Carrboro though. Obviously.  

Finally; in the land of Facebook etcetera’s, I still think blogs are boring, so probably won’t write again for a year or so.  There you have it. See you next year.

Lemony Snicket and Nathaniel Stookey talk about their collaboration on The Composer Is Dead a murder mystery with an accompanying audio recording: click to see video.

A once in a four year event, on February 29th I celebrated my defense with champagne, caviar, crackers, and cheese (thanks to Carole) at the University of North Carolina Anthropology Department. Paul had showed me his torture tools, but I believe none were necessary to convince my committee that the dissertation was worth the effort. “Very creative and innovative” was the verdict. Thanks you professors Carole Crumley, Paul Leslie, Arturo Escobar, Peter Redfield and Flora Lu for dwelling in my world. We partied that evening at Pablo’s house. I think I lasted until 12am before crashing. Had a wonderful weekend with the kids. Nico called me Dr. Pappa. Good enough reason for him to argue that I should wash his hands, “because you are doctor.” Not that kind of doctor sweetheart. I can perhaps convince you of the merits of Latourian referentialism. Not cure your scratches with a magical potion.
