You may not have seen Brad around the ice recently -- that's because he's been hard at work on two hockey-related bio-engineering projects. The first, a reconstruction of his shattered right wrist, kept Brad occupied from November, 2003 to the middle of 2004, at which time the project was declared an outright success. Feeling unfulfilled, though, Brad went on in the fall of 2004 to undertake an effort at rehabilitating a dislocated right shoulder, an effort which proved ultimately unsuccessful and eventually blossomed into a full-scale reconstruction of the shoulder in June, 2006. He expects to declare the project complete in October, 2006. He wishes, of course, to thank both Patrick Farabaugh and Scott Urista, without whom these projects would not have been possible!

When not engaged in hockey (or any of its related endeavors -- see above), Brad is busy at work on his PhD in philosophy (from Cornell University -- go Big Red!). The working title of his dissertation is Modality Schmodality: Doin' Tha Minimal Linguistic Ersatzism Thang.
