lobster? what lobster?

greg|regan: why are we here? if you're asking, you must be a dane. kidding. but we do get that question a lot. well, let's see. we were living in a wonderful community in madison, wisconsin with our two little guys, our two cats, our dog, and our car. i was lawyering then mothering. greg was phd'ing in nuclear physics, then post-doc'ing in medical physics. of course a post-doc can't last forever. a position opened up in denmark (and also in st. louis and rochester, mn). if we had to leave our wonderful, supportive community in madison, we wanted it to be a thrilling, when-will-this-opportunity-present-itself-again-? opportunity. denmark was the clear choice. so, we sold our house, our car. supplied st. vinnies with goods to keep their store running for at least a year, said goodbye to our cats, our dog, our wonderful neighbors, our family, and got on a plane for denmark. we have a three year commitment here. and after that... well... that is anyone's guess.
