from aspen: omg! this place is so gorgeous!

Last week, during my failed housing search, I will admit to sometimes thinking "Dear God, what have I done?" about the whole fellowship idea. Today, in Aspen for the start of the conference associated with the fellowship, I am back to wondering why all sociology Ph.D.'s don't apply for it. Standing on the back patio of my hotel room, here are the views facing 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 2 o'clock:

what's with the monkey bars in pic 2? is there a calisthenics component to this event?

Yes, part of the fellowship application contest involved an obstacle course, and apparently they are going to seek to further hone skills during the conference here.

that is a jungle gym, not monkey bars, isn't it?

i think it's either a monkey gym or a set of jungle bars.

Neither "jungle gym" or "monkey bars" are terms in state-of-the-art recess-equipment usage. Instead, what you are looking at is called a geodesic calisthenic structure.

Mea culpa Americana. (Note, though, that persons with permanent residency status are also eligible to apply.)
