Just a quick note to say that I’ve gotten past the second stage of the tenure process; my college committee voted to approve my tenure request, which means I have one step remaining: an appearance before the university personnel committee, which obviously has a major say in what happens next. I’m being careful not to count chickens too early, but in any case this was a nice pre-Christmas present. Happy holidays to everyone!
