11:15 a.m. My grandmother things I’m done with my dissertation.  She thinks I’m Dr. vonCookie.  I didn’t have the heart to explain to her about the difference between “graduation” and “filing.”  I got the feeling she was disappointed in me.  Why?  Because when I walked in the door, she called me “doctor”; I didn’t have [...]
