He Can Hear Me Now

My son had his audiological appointment today, and my wife told me he passed with flying colors. Apparently, the test is newfangleder than just blowing up a paper bag and snapping it behind his head; it involves computers and sensors and complete, absolute silence, which of course is super easy with a 17-day-old.
I have returned to classes, though my thoughts are still 505.7 miles to the east. I was going to try and sneak home over this Veteran's Day Weekend, but I just can't justify it -- I didn't get a word of studying done during my two weeks home, and I have four tests to make up by next week...it would be no fun going home just to have my nose in a book (not that I would). My professors have been very lenient with me, but I need to get back on track so I'm not behind all quarter.
Thanks to my educational research input of my 11 Aug 05 entry regarding our oil-damaged mollusk friend from the north Pacific, there are a handful of people who have nicknamed me "Gumboot."
So, naturally, they're referring to my newborn son as "Gumby."
*sigh*
