T-minus 7 days......

.......argh!! This time next week I'll be on a plane over the Atlantic and now that the dust is settling from finishing work, the amount of things that are still left to do is starting to dawn on me.

So... argggghhhh.... ehfsodifhavwioeruVOWEURVOWEIUXMSKdgkjh k,sjdgh ae

Ahhh...... that's better, now where was I?

Welcome one, welcome all

I didn't ever think I'd be here, but my narcissism finally got the better of me, so here I am with a blog (or should that be 'blawg'?).

I decided that, as I'm not going to be moving continents everyday, and keeping a paper diary is soooooo 1993, that if I wanted to keep a record of this period of upheaval, that the internet was the way forward. So here it is.

So what to expect? Well, my ramblings really (and if that doesn't put you off, nothing will). When the dust settles from the Big Move West (TM) I wanted a way of looking back on it all, to try and convince myself it wasn't *that* much of a pain in the arse :-). I also wanted an easy way of keeping in touch with all those who want to keep in touch. Finally, I wanted to give an insight into life in small town America and the trials and tribulations of trying to force my way onto the postdoctoral treadmill.

So without further ado, and if we're all sitting comfortably, then I shall began.....
