*No, I haven’t changed fields; I’m on a joint search committee doing preliminary interviews there.

**The Paris part of the journey is both for fun and for economy, believe it or not. A roundtrip ticket from SoCal to Vienna is currently in the $1300 vicinity, and requires me to fly in and out of LAX, which adds another 3 hours to the journey, and is without question the worst part of the trip. I managed, instead, to get a roundtrip ticket on Continental from ONT to CDG for $1000 (still more than I’d like to have spent, but it has good travel times and is, alas, pretty much the going rate) and a roundtrip ticket on Air France from CDG to VIE for $175. And all the better, I save some money on hotels, and get to hang out with my pal Marcus!
