January 2011. Lots of mental anguish in the McLeod household. The job may be the best professional setup I’ll ever get. But it’s not the right time to move our family from Ames, Iowa. What to do, what to do? Think outside the box! Pitch UK a ‘global worker’ proposal. 90% of my work is online / electronic anyway. Can I remain in Ames and fly to Lexington a few days a month to take care of the rest? We wait anxiously, fingers and toes crossed. UK says YES!

Scott does really interesting work and his move to UK will have implications for our field in more ways than one. A key to consider, is it OK for a tenured Associate Professor to set up shop at a major University and not live there? Teaching I can working well, but that is only a piece of what one does as an academic at a place like UK or PSU.
