NSF, meet DTY

Oh yes my friends. I just found out two days ago that I will receive funding for my NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant! Oh happy day! I am so relieved, as now I have money for C14 dates and travel. Without which there was no way I could do my research. This was a resubmission, and this time I got 5 excellents out of 5. All the reviews were glowing, which, after having got trashed by one of the reviewers last time was nice. Anyway, thought I would let you all know.

And if you ever do an 11 hour survey day on a burned out middle of nowhere section of Utah, make sure on the way home you do not get a flat tire, and then have problems with the spare and the jack. You will have a bunch of tired, sunburned, hungry archaeologists. But if you do, pop open a luke warm Fresca and enjoy the show!

Dave, congratulations!!! I'm in the process of writing my own NSF, is there any way you can share your secret? I'd love to read a copy of your proposal. Lay-tar.

Well, David, glad to hear my snooping around the NSF paid off, literally;) JK. I am really serious though when I say the NSF is down the street. So is the FDIC. So, now that you all think I am that much cooler than you already thought I was...I am done. Congrats Dave!

High praise my friend! Fantastic news. I'll pour some of my own lukewarm Fresca out in your honor.
