Everything's better in Rome . . .
When, during the fall of 2006 I was deciding about whether or not to apply to co-direct the Rome program this year one of my concerns was that right about now I feared I would be losing my mind because of - um - anticipating certain news. My colleague the baroquista convinced me to go ahead by reminding me that, after all, everything's better in Rome, even waiting to hear the final tenure decision.
She is right.
And I survived the final hurdle - the Board of Trustees decided not to reject various and sundry recommendations and the decision of the president of these Colleges.
I would like very much to thank everyone who helped me and pushed me and prayed for me and such.
Oh - and I got to kiss the arm-bone of St. Thomas Aquinas this evening, too! It's his memorial and I made it through solemn vespers and mass at Sta Maria sopra Minerva without coughing too much and got to venerate the relic - everything's better in Rome!
