FREE

I'm free. A little like a parakeet released from a cage that comes back to peck at the bars, trying to get back in. But I never belonged in school. I just took a wrong turn and followed the path of least resistance after that, and in time the years wore away my courage, my creativity, my will to live. I'm not sure there's anything left

CONGRATULATIONS! You have earned this, and then some!

Could you find a way to come to Dallas while Melanie is here at the end of June? She can't stay at the house because of her cat allergy so the guest room would be all yours.

I can try. Not sure yet but it sounds wonderful. Not sure I can drive that far yet and there's the dogs to deal with, but I'll see what I can do. Would love to see you.

I was granted tenure last year and am currently on sabbatical.

I am 99% certain that I will leave my job at the end of the next academic year and go do... something else with my PhD.

You've earned this life - enjoy it. That's what's next.
