State of the Diss for 2014

The conclusion/introduction is the hardest part to write? We'll see. First draft of Chapter 5 is away, including the rather ingenious reference to Shel Silverstein's "The Little Boy and Old Man". I hope I can keep that bit. Chapters 1-3 need minor revisions, and Chapter 4 probably needs one more overhaul. I'm hoping one last bootcamp in the library will take care of most everything here. Once that's all done, then I just need to compile some appendices and submit the whole thing one (I hope) last time. Fingers crossed....
