March 1, 2004..
Just heard today that I did get tenure. :) Which is good given the rules of the game (you can not stay unless you get tenure). In many ways I think I would rather see tenure done away with. Have everyone on a one year or at most four year contract (correpsond to 4 years students typically are here). But that said, as the rules are now written I am very glad that I got it and thanks you to all who wrote letters!!!! :)
More good news: it was warm enough that I ran in shorts!! First time in I do not know how long! Winter may be slowly winding down :) I hope I hope!!

Ok, so I am basically clueless here...should I be using blog
software, or just an html editor? I checked around and the blog
editors do make i tseem easier, but for now this will suffice.
February 12, 2004 Well this is the first post. Not really sure what I want to do with this page. It sounded fun, but a blank page in pretty intimidating.
Random musings. Why a random page? Well many reasons: I have many interests and many people I want to keep in contact with but for some reason never seem to have the time. The initial reason for starting the webpage/newsletter was to keep in touch with past students and friends. As the newsletter has grown and become more just of finance, I have missed that interaction. So this is an attempt to getting some of it back. I guess you can call this random musings, a weblog, or a periodic journal. Basically this page will be a means of staying in touch with friends (new and old).
News and updates
Tenure process: I have had several people ask so...Still no word on tenure but my fingers are crossed. I guess I would say cautiously optimistic. It is now in the president's hands. I will let you know soon. I think they have to make a decision by February 27.
Bills new Coach: time will tell. I think he could be good. The talent is there. Just need to put it together.
Bona Basketball has been having a very tough year. They just have no depth. Ten wins seems out of the question, but they are trying and I am hopeful things will turn. I like what I see from an organizational point of view and they are a good bunch. Hate to see them lose to much. Best Bona bball link? The Bandwagon
Need another reason to quit smoking? It can cause impotence and infertility. All I can say, is please quit. Smoking is really one of my pet peeves. A classic example of short term thinking.
Bonas is about to name a new president. Three candidates left. http://sbunews.sbu.edu/
Read any good books lately?
I have few talents, but one is the ability to be reading several books more or less at the same time. So some that I am currently reading/ristening to.
- The Price of Loyalty
- Tom Clancy's The Teeth of the Tiger
- Gentleman Revolutionary by Richard Brookhiser
- Lance Armstrong's Every Second Counts
- Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis
- General Washington's Christmas Farewell
- The Last Train to Paradise
- Nothing Like it in the World by Stephan Ambrose
- Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot
more to follow...I am sure this will be an often updated page...lol...
