What did I learn during my interview in Tulsa?
Tulsa is very low key, extremely so, it makes Grand Rapids look like a very hip place to be.
It is also a very religious area, like Grand Rapids, but they have churches called “The Beams of Light with Pastor Jimmy Ray.” We have nothing that [...]
By your third interview in two months you have learned a few things to make life a little bit more pleasant for yourself. Tuesday morning I fly to Tulsa for a two day interview, which is sure to be exhausting. But I’ve created a few rules for myself that will hopefully make this trip much [...]
Last Friday I went on an interview at a school in Kentucky. It went well. The campus is small but expanding. The department is young and active. They seemed impressed enough with me.

One is in Tulsa, another in Northern Kentucky, and one in Laramie. I have two conference calls this week and the possibility of a day trip to [...]
