Friends,

I have accepted a tenure-track job offer at Dominican University. I'll be moving at the end of July, teaching a 3/3 course load (typical for such institutions), and be one of two Europeanists in a small history department.

Dominican is a great place with a strong sense of purpose, a beautiful facility, and a lot of great people. I'm thrilled to be about to become a part of it - although very sad about leaving Minnesota. Still, this is a great day, a milestone towards which I have been working a very long time.

Feliciations. You guys deserve this mightily- a good first step indeed.

Come visit. Sleep on couch. Watch baby. Umph!

I give you a hearty congratulations on this...I know how much work you've done to make this happen, and I have to say that it's been a huge pleasure to watch (and read) you as you've been on this path for the past few years...While I will miss your company, your music and your general smartypantness, I am very sure this is completely a Good Thing for you, as well as Shannon and Mr. Rockstar...

I guess once you move, it'll mean that we've got the midwest covered...Between the Cities, Madison and Chicago, it's a veritable musical roadtrip...

Congrats. Now the really important question: will you be rooting for the Cubs or the White Sox?

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

YOU!

This removes from the table the Yankees vs Mets debate, but opens the door to the whole White Sox - Cubbies discussion.

[buttonlass.livejournal.com]

Let's go Red Sox! (clap-clap-clapclapclap)

Plus Hello! Mom is a Minnesotan. I am not allowed to root for either.:)

Yeay!

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

because road trip.

Re: Yeay!

This is the sort of thing we love to see! But really I think airfare may be cheaper due to the price of gas for the automobile.

Just when I was getting to know you, and to know S again... But it's not over, for sure.... haha

Congratulations!

I'm thrilled for you. Huzzah!

Dominican is both wise and fortunate to be getting you; their students are in for a treat as well as the challenges that come from the best college professors. I look forward to reading about the continuing adventure!

[chirosinger.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is fantastic! Good for you!

We'll miss you, but we can come visit, right?

[kalmn.livejournal.com]

oh, that's fabulous for you! tenure track, i'm assuming?

yay for you!

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed.

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Sort of. Not much, but it's complicated and this is a public post. :) I'm very happy.

[pameladean]

Congratulations! I'd better send you that stuff before you start packing.

Many, many congratulations to you, buttonlass, and buttonfish!!

[bethlet.livejournal.com]

Woo congrats!!

If you need Chicago tips, let me know. :)
If you need someone to help you find a place to stay, my parents do that (well) for a living, and I'm happy to pass names and numbers along, in either direction. :)

Also, CONGRATS!

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

We're always happy to have help. We'll be looking for an apartment (probably) in Oak Park or River Forest, near to Dominican. We'll know more on this soon.

[kalikanzara.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

Yeah

[markiv1111.livejournal.com]

It does sound great, and as best I can tell from your other comments, not that far away. (My computer wouldn't link me to your link about Dominican University, but everybody else has been saying Chicago.) You'll still come back for Minicon, right?

Nate

Re: Yeah

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Right!

[cakmpls.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I hope it is twice as wonderful as your highest hope.

[zinzinzinnia.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

Looking forward to visiting you in Chicago at some point! Maybe on the way to future Folk Festivals...

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

w00t!
