Looks like we will have to learn to spell this properly, as I have been offered the position at University of Hartford.
WHoohoo!
When the Dean called my parents house on Thursday he asked for "Doctor Owens", which threw my family for a bit of a loop-- as my Grandfather, the only Dr. Owens we know in Valdosta, Georgia died about 20 years ago. My parents gave the Dean the number for Mike's parents-- where we are staying until today. He called, offered the position, and then I told him I'd call back the next day. WHen I called back on Friday I had to negotiate the details, like salary, moving expenses, research budget-- CRAZY. That's not my strong suit, but it was fun and exciting.
I will sign a contract in January, with the expectation that we will move to Connecticut in the late summer-- July or August of next year.
OK-- taking the UHaul to Valdosta today-- so we need to get rolling!
More soon!

I knew you would get it! I just had a hunch. Great news, and we are already looking forward to a visit to Hartford. In the meantime, we are glad we'll have you in the SE for the next six months or so.
Whoo hooo! That is awesome news. Congratulations! : )
