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.

Nice icon!

That's wonderful! Congratulations on taking this next step in your career!

[ferrousoxide.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm in the process of trying to re-do it with a photograph of my own eye.

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

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...

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

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

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

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

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

YOU!

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

Steal all my material, will you?

[neogrammarian.livejournal.com]

Will do!

Yeay!

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

because road trip.

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

Congratulations!

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

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

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.

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

But we'll be down for Cubbies games, oh yes! I heart wrigely!

Did you know you have the greatest Ikea AND 3 Lush stores and SO many great resturants and the El and cheap flights out of Ohare and, yes, birthplace of yours truly!

I'm exicted! Can I go too? I'll be the nanny. Leave Will here--he can fend for himself.

Train, car, scooter, hitchhike, fly, run...whatever!

Which of us is the baseball fan, and which is the hockey fan?

Speaking of the Blackhawks

[90-percent-sure.livejournal.com]

They're not really a true hockey team. They're more like a hockey-related activity squad.
