Charlie Brown finally kicks the ball and other stuff you never thought you'd see

Lucy brought her best game, but he kicked it anyway.

Peanuts - Charles M. Schultz - © 2005, United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

I never thought when I started this arc that over a year later I would write this post. But here it is. Good news comes by phone, bad news by mail. I got the call. I am gainfully employed doing exactly what I had hoped to be doing this year... starting sometime next year.

There are downsides and challenges and I definitely feel conflicted in a huge way about aspects of this whole thing. But I will have plenty of time to worry about all that later.

Let's go with the emotions of the moment, other than conflicted, like: Jubilation. Humbled. Grateful. Happy. Blessed. Relieved. Satisfied.

Thanks, everyone, for coming along on the ride so far, and for being supportive and awesome. It means a lot to me.

And of course, thanks especially to my Bullshark and Clownfish and professors and "real life" friends and family who never let me give up on myself.

If you're a new reader, you might think I have a really unhealthy obsession with the Peanuts gang. I don't. This moment has just been a long time coming and a little off hand comment in one post written long ago has turned into a bit of an arc, a thread running through a series of blog posts, that lead to today.
Also, yeah, I totally gave Lucy a black eye.
