Last time I was in California, I was 5 years old. I bet it's changed
a little. There's a position (graduate TESOL and linguistics program)
opening here at Murray State for next fall that I may apply for, but
who knows? It's risky applying at a place that you've worked at for
10 years. Ooooh...if only I had the dissertation defended (first I
have to write it) and be in a full-time tenure track position.
Off to write, Becky

Yeah, sometimes. Last year was really rainy--thus the mudslides. We average
about 20 rainy days per yr. I would say. Wanna come on over? I hear that
CSUCI will be hiring another full time compositionist next year......

Hi Kathleen, sort of nostalgic to hear about your train ride to work
but I thought it never rains in California...wait...with all those mud
slides it would have to, right?
