We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

Finally official

It's been a while since I blogged, mostly because I've been sitting on a little piece of information that I didn't want to share until it was official, and now it is. About time too, as I've turned my whole life upside-down. Starting August 28, I will be teaching physics at St. Cloud State University. It's a 1-year position that might be extended or even become tenure-track. For the fall, I'll be teaching General Physics (no calculus) and Concepts in Physics (for non-majors). I move tomorrow. I've taken an apartment in east St. Cloud near Clearwater. This afternoon I will be packing my clothes and a few household items into my car, and tomorrow Zora and I will head for St. Cloud. Josh is staying in our condo for a little while, perhaps until he graduates (which is hopefully also just a little while). I'll try to keep up with this blog, but since I have to prepare lab manuals and syllabai before classes start, I'm going to be busy. Good luck to me!

I'm so excited that you're coming back to Minnesota!! Congratulations on the new job. You really deserve it. Let me know when you're back in town and we'll go catch "Snakes on a Plane" together.

Congratulations Julie! I have very happy for you. I wish you all the best over the next few weeks! Perhaps when things slow down, we can go out for a drink - You should slow down by your birthday I'm thinking ;-)
