I got a tenure track teaching job! It's in the Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics department at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. It's a small, Luthern, liberal arts college with about 1800 students. There are 10 other professors in the department and I'll be teaching lots of different courses, but particularly the department's three statistics courses. There's lots of energy going toward student research at Wartburg and the flexibility to play lots of roles makes it a great place for me.

It's in a small town and that's just right for me. I am an uncomplicated man who doesn't need much to be entertained. Between the public library, the Internet and the great outdoors, I'm just not sure what would be missing there that I might enjoy about any other location. It'll be a great place for Rose to grow up, and tuition exchange with other colleges is part of the benefits package (when it comes to that). Lara and I are both very excited and are looking forward to 5 months of big changes.

Anyone want to buy a house in Carrboro?

Here's a sneak peek at some of the songs that we sing to Rose at various times. Big, Big Girl comes out often at bathtime, Sweet Pea is an all-around favorite and High-Needs Baby was this morning's hit after nursing to sleep for a solid 30 minutes and then waking up to play with the cat. Enjoy



Big, Big Girl (jazzy)
She's a big, big girl. She's big as can be.
She's a big, big girl. She's almost bigger than me.
Big, Big girl, honey B. I. G.
She got that way drinking Mom's boobie tea.

She's a big, big girl. She's as big as can be.
She's a big, big girl, movin' big and free.
Big, big girl, honey me oh my
My big, big girl's got Michelin thighs.



Sweet Pea
Sweet pea, sweet pea
She's so sweet and she is my pea
Sweet pea, sweet pea
Sweet as a pea is sweet as can be
Sweet pea, sweet pea
I'm so happy that she's sweet on me



High-Needs Baby (bluesy)
She's my high-needs baby
Uh huh, uh huh
And I don't mean maybe
Uh huh, uh huh
She loves to munch and chew and groan<
All night long she rolls and moans
