Wow, four times?  It's only twice for me.  But then, I've only got two arms.  I suspect you can do things four times faster. 

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I got tenure as part of the job offer at my current position, so it was a relatively quick, low stakes, low stress situation.

When as old as I am you are, think differently you may.

Yes, serious. Fourth time tenured. I don't suggest this as a life quest.
