Yes, I still do intend on moving ... somewhere ... in the Pacific Northwest doing ... something. But I would be a fool to turn down a post-doc at Penn State, especially if I want to seriously consider academia. I can put up with being in State College for a year, methinks.

Yes and yes and yes!

I banged out five pages yesterday --- nearly 1,400 words as well as adding six figures. Mind, that level of progress is an outlier, but I'll take it. I figure if I can maintain a minimum of about a page a day that I'll be OK. (I hope.)

Thanks! And, when I finally do head out West, I'll be sure to stick a pin on the map for Tennessee to visit!

Thank you! And, I sure hope so! One of the many appealing things about the Seattle area is that I have a lot of friends there already as well as my brother and his wife. (And soon to be sprog! Yes, I preparing to be The Crazy Uncle.)

(I also confess that it seems every other entry you write where you share some Seattle-ism is further confirmation that that's the part of the world I need to live in. Truly that's where I ultimately belong.)

Congratulations on the post-doc position! You can get done by December I'm sure.
