"On The Road Again"
As I've surely mentioned numerous times before in this forum, we are a family in transit. We've bounced around a bit the past several years and the ride doesn't look anywhere close to being over yet.
Stacey is in the process of applying for post-doctoral fellowships for next year while I stick my head in the sand and pretend that I'm physically and mentally unable to hold a job so I can stay home with Connor a little longer. I think writing this blog is undermining my attempts to convince Stacey that I have zero marketable skills, though. I'm not claming to be the greatest writer in the world — at least not publicly — but you'd be surprised how rare it is for someone to be able to compose a coherent paragraph. Me really total serious!
So, for the next month or three, we sit on our hands and wait to see if we end up in Atlanta, Athens, Montgomery, Huntsville, NW Georgia, Bangladesh, somewhere else entirely, or just stay where we are now. I feel like I'm living in a real-life version of the TV show Quantum Leap, just waiting for the jump that takes me "home" — although we've been on the move for so long, I'm not exactly sure where home is anymore.
I hear British Columbia is a nice place to live...

To be clear, if you feel like Sam, you're going to be waiting for the "leap" home, not the jump. If we're going to make analogies to great tv shows, let's make sure we get 'em right.
Don't forget about Knoxville...it is a long shot but there is a chance. And, the people in the picture look like they like moving around, I don't.
Nerd alert!
Leap. Jump. Whatever.
Hey, if you decide on British Columbia, welcome. Love to have ya!
Sadly, the choice isn't really up to us.
