Can I blag a little?

I don't know if my friend Mark W. actually coined the phrase "blag" (brag/blog) or not, but it's a great word! Anyway, I'm going to do a little blagging here. Rick's website, Econosseur.com, was cited in one of the New York Times blogs on New Year's Eve day. Rick and another Economist started the blog and added a joke page to share funny economics jokes (cause there's not much funny about the economy!). Here's where the NYT cited his blog.
I wish my blog were that cool. Good job, honey.

Way to go, Rick! I'm sure it won't be the last time he's cited, either!!

So I know high teachers go for tenure - do professors as well? Because I believe, even being only four months into teaching, with an accreditation like being recognized in the NYT - ya, that deserves the reward of tenure (or the equivalent).
Quite exciting. I'm going to conviniently be looking at the NYT in my office as people walk by so that I can point out "I know this person" to them.
Congrats!

Good job Rick! You should post your Christmas letter. We had a pretty good laugh with that as well.
