Congratulations! Obviously, you deserve it and Columbia is lucky to have you, as your devoted students show. <BR/><BR/>Hope you celebrate tenure with a banquet of light reading and bonbons! I happened to be alone when I heard and ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but it honestly tasted extra delicious because for the first time in years I felt free of nagging anxiety.<BR/><BR/>Hope you savor the moment and indulge yourself in something you really like. And don't forget that important genre of "tenure present"--usually one gets some kind of raise and should spend a bit of it on an extravagance (some kind of triathlon gear you want but think is too expensive?). Now is the time to get it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-6970454463889521412008-06-07T19:00:00.000-04:002008-06-07T19:00:00.000-04:00Congratulations!
