Oh, well

Thought I had a good shot at a think tank position. And maybe I did, but if so, somebody had a better one. There is another one open at another institution, and the same folks have encouraged me to apply, so I put in a couple of hours rewriting the letter, though I was told to leave it pretty much the same -- but I couldn't, it was too focused on the institution.

Well, wish me luck. This one is a couple of hours further away, but only a block from public transportation, and I am not a driver.

And if I get it, hope the place doesn't get nuked when things get hot in a month or so.

I'll say a prayer that you get whatever is truly best for you. :)

Why would it get nuked?

Something I've wondered: how does a thinktank work? What do they do? How do they meet? How are people selected? WOuld you be paid? What do you think about?

Tell me as much as you care to about thinktanks.

I've had more close-calls lately than I care to recount, so yes, good luck. And remember, every flower has its bee.

Prayers

I will pray for you about this, and
will get my students to offer prayers
for the special intention of my friend,
Mr. Frank.
