First, Jody was honored on May 5 as the Winner of the Women In Research Travel Grant Competition. Then, today Jody received confirmation from the President of the University of South Florida (USF) that she had been promoted to Full Professor. We were both surprised as Jody thought that it would be at least another month before the decision was made. I am so thrilled for Jody as she has worked so hard for this honor and richly deserves it. Tonight we celebrated Jody's promotion by dining at the Ristorante Civetta in Downtown Hachioji. We were the only diners there at 5:30 pm as we needed to eat early as our pantries were bare after a week in Hong Kong and we planned to shop afterward. This restaurant was listed as the No. 1 Italian restaurant in Hachioji and it didn't disappoint. We had wonderful lobster and exquisite Kobe Beef. What a lovely, intimate restaurant. We asked the very attentive chef for his picture with us. We will be back.
