And like this insubstantial pageant faded

Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Somebody gave me a job today, quite officially. So it's on to the next dream.

I'll be working in defense for Lockheed Martin, in the Littleton, CO area. Graduate school has been good to me, and I'm essentially starting up a level on the career ladder because of it. Down the road, the door is open to a PhD because of my thesis, which I'm defending next Friday. And best of all, it taught me a lot about computers and about science.

It will be nice to get off the school and work grind, and just learn and grow in my profession. It will be nice to pay off some school loans, live in a house. It will be nice to be out on our new grand adventure.

I'll write some contact information here in due course. The Internet, insubstantial as it is, can keep us all on one stage, and that's how it should be.
