Re: Heartfelt request
Congratulations BSG!
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Congratulations!!
Ps. Does this mean you are back in Andrew's good books or not?“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Go easy on the stoners.

Re: Heartfelt request
I can't speak to how I'm judged by those who don't even know me, Gob. 
I can say that in interviewing for this appointment, I was clear with regard to my absolute adherence to the model rules for prosecutorial ethics, my personal belief in rehabilitation formed by having the heart of a defense attorney, and my philosophy of prosecuting sparingly and not aggressively pursuing the WoD agenda.
It's a large but sparsely populated county, growing quickly due to proximity to highly desirable mountains & cities. They want to see violent crime and property crime effectively prosecuted, and they want someone to guide them through the growing pains re: land use, utility, environmental, etc. issues. And they want to keep within a tight budget.
If I am not retained at the next election, I'll know it wasn't the right fit.
If I am, this is a place where I can spend the remainder of my career and achieve my Montana dream of a little ranchette, a rescued Mustang or two, a view of the mountains and the sound of meadowlarks out my window. Plus, a symphony and a first class research university an hour away.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Gob, I've got an Australia theme loaded on my laptop that cycles through some gorgeous desktop pics of your adopted home. It's got me very inspired to visit! But after I do, I'm going to insist that you & Hen come see the States - we've got some stunning vistas you've got to see!

Sounds like a deal!

Re: Heartfelt request
Yay.
Well done you.
I hate interviews and have never needed to through more than one for any position.
I could never have survived what you did.

Re: Heartfelt request
That is wonderful news! Now for the more mundane stuff....find a place to live, pack, move...
When do you start?

Yes Dales, I'm sure that's very important.

Re: Heartfelt request
Good oh, BSG!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Like I have posted previously, if I had the do-re-mi ------- Oz is next to a revisit to the UK on my bucket list.
