Introductions

I don't have any grand intentions for this blog. I just started my fourth year as a university professor, having recently passed the first hurdle toward tenure: third-year review. My book is under review at a press and hopefully they will accept it soon. My teaching is going well overall, although it takes more of my time than it probably should. I have great colleagues in my department--some really great friends and some interesting characters. Some days I love my job, other days I hate it. Some days I feel right at home as a professor, and some days I wonder what the hell I'm doing here. So I guess this blog is about all of that.
