California Florida Dreamin’ …
Last week Emily was offered, and accepted, a tenure track position as an assistant professor of English Literature at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. While we wouldn’t have picked Florida if we were sitting down looking at a map of the United States, Orlando is the size city we were looking for (smaller than LA, but still big enough to offer great restaurants, shows, that sort of thing), and it’s only a three hour, direct flight to upstate New York. The housing market isn’t nearly as insane as LA; we’ll probably be able to buy something right away.
She starts in August and we’ll probably head down earlier, depending on how my long-distance job hunt goes. If anyone has any leads on tech jobs in the Orlando area, please let me know!
Also, anyone want to buy a half-season old set of snow tires?

i’m really glad that a phil with a funny last name got the house on harvard. my wife and i are shopping for our first house and looked at the place you guys purchased. it was a bit high for us so we moved on, but i kept it on my saved list from realtor.com. when i saw that it was pulled, i checked ocpafl.org to see how much the buyer ended up paying for it. i saw your name and threw it into google and that’s how i got here. a bit stalker-ish, i know.
we feel the same way you do about the size of the city here. our biggest complaint is that it’s such and indoor culture. we’re still looking for a house and waiting for the market to hit bottom.
anyway, good luck down here in orlando.
