Dr Laurel








Laurel graduates with her PhD in "Shakespeare’s Use of Nothing" this Saturday May 13 in Washington, DC. She graduates 10am [12 midnight Sunday in Sydney]. It has been a labour of love. But in the contest between Something and Nothing, it would appear that Something eventually won.

Then [together with Em-mma] we will be flying to Atlanta then to Albuquerque, New Mexico, next Friday. Laurel will be flying under the name Dr. Laurel Moffatt.

Tidy.

All you shy readers out there: I know who you are. Why not post your congratulations here on this site? Click on the 'comments' thing below. Register yourself with a name, or even anonymously, and post your congratulations. Why write a card, I say? I'll pass on the love to the Doctor.

Love, Justin.

PS I've included some random recent photos. I think that Em-mma took most of them.

Laurel
As far as we were concerned you were always Dr material (I'm not sure what that means but it's a compliment!) Well done, your kids are beautiful and your hubbie is a dude.

Jim said...

Firstly congratulations!

Secondly, were there any references to "Seinfeld" and how this may have furthered Shakespear's use of "Nothing"? Its a long shot I guess.
