Truth but I'm also putting my youngest kiddo through college too.

Money can't buy happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Lexus than on a bicycle. :)

You're right ... it can't buy happiness, but it does make the un-happiness more fun to deal with. :)

Money can buy happiness only when Lilith turns professional Domme.

The PHD would pander to your desire for independent acknowledgement that you're not some bimbo Texan transplant in Florida.

You are happy where you are doing things which impact the lives of thousands and they force money on you to do it.

Is the grant conditional?

Starts in may. I'd have to teach and research and write over the next 4 years. Now or never.

Tough call.

Ship I sailed on to Germany back in 1947; the Daniel Sultan.

Better than an early Liberty ship, DB.

Interesting enough, in 1958 when we came back from Japan, we missed sailing on the Sultan again. It was scheduled to dock in Yokohama a week after we left. Instead, we came back on the William Mitchell. It set a record (for the Mitchell) in making the best time ever from Yokohama to Seattle. :)

I am planning a vacation

:thumbs: ^^^^

I've got some errands to run this morning.

I got married :D

Congrats!!! on the marriage
