Biography
Because the world is small and Google is mighty, you can call me C.J. -- C.J. Most-Gladly, to be precise about my pseudonymity, wife of the dashing and handsome math geek Elwood P. Gladly. We have four boys whose noms du blog will be Alex, Marty, Joe, and Pete. Here in June 2008 they are 11, 8, 6, and 3, and we are expecting a fifth child in December. Yes, we're Catholic.
I started this blog in October 2006, a couple of months into a doctoral program. Now I'm embarking on my dissertation, aiming to get to candidacy before the new baby arrives.
Why "most gladly"? That's why.
Why "light and momentary"? Same book, different chapter.
Why a doctoral program with four kids? Burning curiosity about my research question, plus a teeny masochistic streak.
Interests
Baking, running for novices, folk music, Dickens, and the impact of early fatty acid intake on neurodevelopment. Also a painless strategy for keeping four kids in matching (or at least matching-ish) socks through a Midwestern winter.
