NOT
LONG
after
I
got
tenure
at
the
____________________
of
Virginia
,
I
took
my
entire
fifteen
-
person
research
team
down
to
Disney
World
for
a
week
as
my
way
of
saying
____________________
____________________
.
A
fellow
professor
took
me
aside
and
said
,
?
Randy
,
how
could
you
do
that
?
?
Perhaps
he
thought
I
was
setting
a
____________________
that
other
soon
-
to
-
be
-
tenured
professors
would
be
unwilling
to
equal
.
?
How
could
I
do
that
?
?
I
answered
.
?
These
people
just
worked
their
butts
off
and
got
me
the
best
job
in
the
____________________
for
life
.
How
could
I
not
do
that
?
?
So
the
sixteen
of
us
headed
down
to
Florida
in
a
large
van
.
We
had
a
____________________
blast
,
and
I
made
sure
we
all
got
some
____________________
with
our
entertainment
,
too
.
A
long
the
way
,
?
The
Disney
trip
was
gratitude
easily
delivered
.
It
was
a
____________________
gift
,
and
it
was
perfect
because
it
was
an
experience
I
could
share
with
people
I
cared
about
.
Not
everyone
is
so
easily
____________________
,
however
.
One
of
my
greatest
mentors
was
Andy
van
Dam
,
my
computer
science
professor
when
I
was
at
Brown
.
He
gave
me
wise
____________________
.
He
changed
my
life
.
I
could
never
adequately
pay
him
back
,
so
I
just
have
to
pay
it
forward
.
I
always
liked
telling
my
students
:
?
Go
out
and
do
for
others
what
somebody
did
for
you
.
?
Riding
down
to
Disney
World
,
talking
to
my
students
about
their
dreams
and
goals
,
I
was
trying
my
best
