This week in Maine green is returning to the land, buds are growing, people are outside, and spring is in the air. It is a happy (if crazy) time of year. This year, I also have another reason to celebrate spring – a kid of professional spring that occurs in the life-cycle of an academic called Tenure.Not all of my pre-tenure career has been “winter,” but spring is here, and I’m grateful for it and for everyone who helped and encouraged and guided me to it.
