Best of luck! Agnes will miss you.
Thanks, Neil! I will certainly miss Agnes Scott - I've been very grateful teaching there.
Congrats, Paul!!! You will be missed here the ATL area.
That's really kind of you, Collin - we will miss Atlanta and all our friends here, but we're excited about our move to Charlottesville. You'll have to visit!
Congratulations! What wonderful news! Charlottesville is a great town.
Paul,
First off congrats to you!! Last year I was working for an insurance company and went to a book store for an enrollment. The book store had several shelves of books and other items they let me go through and take what I wanted for free. Among those items was your book One More Theory About Happiness (an uncorrected proof) which honestly sat on my shelf until last week, probably a good year. Not because it didn't interest me I am just not a reader, couldn't tell you the last time I actually finished a book. One night for some reason I picked up your book and could not put it down! I read it in 4 days which is unheard of for me! I really enjoyed it and admire you! Thank you so much for sharing your life with me!

Paul, it is so good to hear about your new job. I'm sorry we haven't talked in a while, but I still think about you all the time. Please find me on FB, so we can remain connected.
