for one, one of the anthologies I'm in is up for an award. click here to check it out! That makes me happy.

Secondly, the provost has approved my tenure so now it's to the board of trustees but I can't imagine them saying no. Heck they don't even know me so unless something bizarre happens it's looking good.

Mom even found a house that I could like in a price range I can afford. Next time I'm out there, I'll trundle out to see it. She also found another couple new houses but here's the strange thing, they're ALL on the same road. Three of them. Doesn't that make you wonder why? It's like hmmm did something happen? was this a meth cul-du-sac? is one neighbor an ass? is it coincidence?

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!Adopt one today!Adopt one today!

It might have been a victim of the housing bubble. We've had that on our street ever since the bubble burst, two-three houses for sale almost constantly (one was foreclosed, so needed SEVERE remodeling, and another may have been, as well, since the people just sort of disappeared...).

that too and the fact no one here has any work because they don't value education. Most barely have a h.s. diploma or ged. They counted on the plants/mills/mines and those are almost all gone

The state of education in America... oy.

"Why would we need an education? That's for them stuck-up nerdy intellectual types." :P

yeah, it's particularly bad here where education is seen as a betrayal of family traditions and appalachia customs

Woot good for you on the story/anthology/award.

Also, those houses might have been built on spec and the developer tanked. Happens a lot here in Fla.

thank you

yes I know that about FL. These are older but I think wildrider is right, they just couldn't hold onto the houses since it's very hard hit here. ave. household income is under 30K

Congratulations and hoping for the best on all three! Lots of great possibilities, it seems.

Maybe all the houses on that road were built at the same time and are now turning over at the same time. That's the most hopeful view--or maybe it's a very long road.

well it is but I think it's more a sign of economic times than anything

Congrats on all the good news - and good luck with the rest of the tenure process (I have no doubts you will breeze through the last hurdle!)

Sorry you had such a lousy day today - get some rest tonight, hopefully tomorrow will be a little easier for you. Sounds like Wednesdays truly are hump-days for you.
