Title of post should be read in the voice of Sheriff Roscoe P.
Coletrain of The Dukes of Hazzard.  

And in the words of Pittsburgh Penguins' announcer Mike Lang,
"HEEEEEE shoots and scorrrrres!  Buy Sam a drink and get his dog one
tooooo!"

My good news is that I just got a good job offer.  In the fall I'll
be starting with the physics department at Allegheny College in
Meadville, PA.  This is a HUGE step up in quality of school from
where I currently work, which shall remain nameless because that's
what it deserves.  It's a two-year visiting assistant professor
position, at a good liberal arts college with a healthy physics major
program.  I suppose it's possible that they'll really like me and
want to keep me longer, but even if not, this is precisely the kind
of experience I need to get a tenure-track job at a similar place a
year or two from now.  

I'll be close enough to Pittsburgh to come down for Saturday
tournaments, but weeknight practices at Pitt and CMU will
unfortunately be off my schedule.  I know that Allegheny has shown up
at some CBI regionals -- I'm not sure I'll be there for long enough
to build anything like a traveling program, though I'll at least see
what the possibilities are. 

   Doug
