Hiatus

I would love to be able to call the last 16 months a sabbatical, but that would be so very much an untruth....

Besides my son getting older and reminding daily of just how smart a 22 month-old can be, so many other things have happened.

I interviewed for so many jobs, I have managed to lose track of them. And I don't even want to begin to count the number of applications I sent out. Thank goodness for paperless systems. I would have single-handedly reduced an old-growth forest to stumps using real paper. I spent a lot of time at the University of Michigan, and some in Toledo, Ohio, with various prospects. I got a lot of second interviews and lot of bad offers. But in the long run I got a new job and that is what counts. And I'm still waiting to hear back from the FDA regarding my interview with them. Crossing my fingers on that one, even though the pay scale is awful.

I now work at ProMedica Health System. What a change from a the lifetime I have so far spent in academics. Future blog topics will now likely encompass the story of how this change has come to pass, how I'm fairing, how the family is fairing and how Sam is growing like a weed in mind and body. For now, I just wanted to check in with a short message proving I'm still alive out here.

Hope there are still a few of you out there reading...I may actually keep this thing up this time around.
