Well, since I finally handed in the publication
copy of my dissertation, and have completed all the
Ph.D. requirements here at Wisconsin, I can officially
announce (for those who may care) the end of my collegiate
quiz bowl career.
It's been a blast playing the
upper Midwest and broader circuit. I've met very
interesting people, and enjoyed myself immensely. It's been a
privilege and a pleasure (even the regular beatings at the
hands of the Chicagos, Illinoises and
Carletons).
See you all on the open circuit (though,
unfortunately, not for me in Chicago next weekend; I'll be in
San Diego at a conference roundabout then). Or, if
you happen by the University of Wisconsin -
Whitewater within the next year, you can look me up in the
physics department.
