In quite possibly some of the coolest news to happen to me in the last year, Michael Cichon, professor of Classical, Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Saskatchewan, will be using Thunder Road in his “Beowulf and Tales of Northern Heroes” class.

I am absolutely thrilled by this unexpected turn (let’s hope Mike’s students are also). I’d write more, but I’m still kind of speechless.

Academic respectability…whoda thunk it?
