Back in Black

Well, I've had a blissfully rejuvenating, productive sabbatical of six months. What a gift.

I've read thousands of pages for my dissertation, traveled to the South to see the post-Katrina destruction firsthand, played music, practiced yoga, hiked, and cooked and shared many fabulous meals.

Now the time has come to return to the office, dressed in my (and Johnny Cash's) signature color, and embrace the parade of humanity that visits me each day.

The devil may wear Prada, but Grace is back in black.
