I am leaving on Thursday to visit Jakarta, Indonesia for 17 days. My brother and his girlfriend Nicole will be joining me and Jenny on the trip. Before leaving, I thought I'd give a quick update on what has happened during my very long, extended absence from blogging:
- My golf paper was given a very positive Revise & Resubmit at the AEJ: Applied journal.
- I visited Lindau, Germany to attend a conference featuring many former winners of the Nobel prize. I thought Yunus was the most inspiring speaker and Solow was the most helpful in stimulating my own research ideas.
- I taught a two-day course at the University of Maryland on Stata programming.
- Jenny and I got engaged on September 18th! Since I don't have a Facebook profile, I will put the announcement here and hope that the news travels far and wide. We will be celebrating at the People's Republik tomorrow (Wed 9/24) starting at 8:30pm.
