Miz Lobelia --

Glad to see you again. I have a Ph.D. in medieval history, so I spent time with Latin as well. And, also like you and Pio, the employment prospects seemed quite dim. I taught in a small college for several years, but my husband is also an historian and it was tough to find anything in the same town.

I ended up getting a second master's in librarianship, and that worked a little better. I've been head of a reference department in an academic library and book selection for Houston public library. Then I quit it all to become a stay-at-home, older mom.

Hang on Inkling Elf! You'll make it. I can tell from your posting in books that you have a head on your shoulders!
