A Great Disturbance in the Force

[robotnik2004]

wordwolf reports that the Ivory Tower has lost another gentleman and scholar to the Hosts of Mordor. I sympathize. In fact, my very own words have in the past pushed people out of academia and into law school. "The academic life rules; academic jobs are a dead end," WW writes. Very true, on both counts. Best wishes to Phil, and to the guy I helped talk into taking the Blue Pill. He seems to be bored in his classes but otherwise doing well.

I think it would be incredibly cool if one or more of those jobs were in our corner of the Middle of Nowhere. :)

I do not think this would Be Cool (tm) at all, 'cause then he'd, y'know, be far away from me. And then how would I possibly be able to play in his Starchildren game? I ask you!

Anywho, Rob, if you're ever really strapped for cash, you could just, y'know, write that Unknown Armies supplement we all talked about for a few extra bucks. I'm sure you have time to do all the research and stuff, right? ;)

Best of luck at the conference! I certainly do not envy you, but I will definitely toast to your good luck on Friday.
