Very well. We played lots and lots of tiddlywinks.
We also watched a flippin' ton of 'The Golden Girls' (seriously).

So happy you played lots of tiddlywinks, really I am.

Did you really watch Golden Girls? I <3 The Golden Girls.

Yes, we really did. If you look on my Facebook profile, you'll see that it's listed among my favorite television shows (and it was there long before this month).
There is no other show that consistently makes me laugh out loud as much as 'The Golden Girls'. 'The Cosby Show' probably comes closest, but it has a lot more "dud" episodes than 'The Golden Girls'.

I watch TGG every night. Even though I'm sure I've seen every episode, I love watching them again.

So does this mean we get to have a Golden Girls party if/when I crash on your couch next month? :D

I have officially left Charleston. I am sitting in my living room in Atlanta, and I'm a wee bit sad :cry: ...not terribly so, though, because I know I'm going back.
Round 2 of Charleston pics are up on Facebook.

That's all you're getting.

How many of those meals were breakfasts? Those are far more important than dinners.

I was thinking the same thing, but was trying so hard to keep my mouth shut. O:-)

I'm so jealous that you're getting to spend so much time there. My fraternity was founded at the College of Charleston in 1905. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Kappa_Phi I wonder if there are any historical sites related to it that are still there?

It really cuts my research time in Columbia more than I'd like, but this way, my time there will be more focused. I'll also be able to really enjoy my birthday weekend, as opposed to having to spend a good chunk of it moving.
In the end, losing another couple of days of research kind of sucks, but in the long run, it won't be that different. I know I'll have to go back anyway, and it'll still be plenty of time to get there and start cataloging the things I need.
Wilson, are any of the documents you need to examine located online? Can you access them remotely?
There are, and I'll definitely do some of that. There are also some things available on microfilm that I can look over at Emory. Plus, I have a whole cataloging of the 18th-century Charleston newspaper (the South Carolina Gazette) to complete, and we have every issue of that on microfilm at Emory. Being back in Atlanta won't keep me from being quite productive.

Wilson,

I really enjoyed reading about your research. Since I've been MIA for a bit I just read the entire thread a little while ago. It was very cool to watch the evolution - from 'what the hell am I doing here?' to 'wow, this is so cool' to 'finding great stuff' right through the Eureka moment(s). It was just wonderful to read. I'm not a history buff by an means but it was genuinely interesting...so I'll be wanting an autographed copy of that first book.

Oh...and thanks for not posting any bikinis... :))
