A little too subtle ...

Sometimes, we're all a little too good at what we do.  I may have done that yesterday when I attempted to convince you all that Sarah and I had taken postdocs in the Netherlands.

The Grasmaand Dwaas Institute is, of course, fictitious, since the word Grasmaand is "April," and Dwaas is ... yes, "Fool."

So to make sure I'm perfectly clear: we are not moving to Amsterdam, and we are not going to be resident scholars at the April Fool's Institute.  Though given that I actually got a few people, I might have more career prospects at that kind of Institute at this point.  Hmm ... food for thought.

  4. Grandma, you weren't the only one. Though you were apparently the only one to try to warn us away from going.
