Thus famously spake Horace Greeley (whose statue in my hometown of Chappaqua, NY ironically faces east), encouraging the new generation of hungry young Americans to seek their fortunes in the rapidly evolving frontier. The frontier has settled in the last 150+ years, but evidently there is still room enough for two more Yankees out there, because Ellen and I are moving to Boulder, CO at the end of August. Ellen has accepted a postdoctoral research fellowship at a government lab starting in September, and I am hoping to continue working as a paramedic (I'm in the process of applying for a CO license now). We are looking forward to this new adventure!
It's going to be a busy few months! In addition to trying to find housing and make moving arrangements (not to mention the small matter of finishing and defending a doctoral dissertation), we are also trying to make sure we experience everything New Hampshire has to offer in our last summer here. We've already planned a hike up Mt. Washington and a trip to the Quechee Balloon Festival (which is technically in Vermont); if anyone has any other suggestions for can't-miss activities/attractions, please let me know!
In other news, Dartmouth graduated the Class of 2012 last Sunday. Congratulations to all the graduates! I can't believe it was three years ago that I was in their place ... time sure does fly, but at the same time, I feel like I've lived ten years' worth of experiences in that time. Hoping for many more years just like them!
