Quite possibly. Even if they don't understand all of it.
Excccccccellent. (How would you pronounce that?) Vive la geek!
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Emily? In the Bay Area again? But how completely foamy is that??? Emily would be the best darn hire the Oakland Unified School District ever made, that's what. Why? Because she's smart and funny and knows about Teh Math, you darn betcha she does. Plus it would be fun to take her to the bookstore.
Also: what Ginger said. Those little dummies promising young people are busy thinking mostly about about summer vacation and gettin some anyway.
And I can say: From a random sampling of dogs met by me, Walter may be the coolest dog ever.

Ooh, can I come? I like drinks, and tattooed boys.
Speaking of - say I were to go into one of the big liquor stores here, looking for Fernet. Do I pronounce the t? I don't want to use up all the cool cred I get by knowing about it in the same instant I find it.

Feh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ooh, can I come? I like drinks, and tattooed boys.
Sure! Yay!
looking for Fernet. Do I pronounce the t?
Yup. It's pronounced exactly as it's spelled. Fer-net. If you want to be more specific, ask for Fernet Branca, which is what we had.

Aww, see now, you're nice! And the promising young women were a bit contemptuous of me, but mostly the problem was the yelling and working-up-to-fighting which I proved totally unable to stop. Crap. Er, not thinking about that. Although thinking a little about applying to slightly less "high-need" districts. Perhaps I would be able to do more good if I wet my teaching feet in comfortable, well-behaved schools before trying to teach kids whose experiences place great value on balls and much less on getting along and obeying the authority figure.
Er, had something to say. Brenda, my due South enabler, you should totally come with. Oh, and I just watched Wilby Wonderful! I have no point, I'm just sharing.
What, I can't ramble drunkenly?

I'm actually thinking I might try to make a trip out this winter - see the Halloweenie and hang out for a few days. We'll see.

Emily has gorgeous legs
She makes me a little gay
If her ass were here right now
We could both quit NGA.

Oops, shoulda said: Walter is one of the coolest dogs ever. I suck. I can't even remember the name of Dog-of-Brenda, who was a nice big dog and fun to pat.
mostly the problem was the yelling and working-up-to-fighting
Right. Problems unrelated to the presentation of the subject. Sure, you probably could have solved all that and had their attention all to yourself if you'd had a cattle prod. And the right to assign 1,000 hours of detention. Detention to be completed while wearing the Hot Dog On A Stick uniform in front of all their laughing little friends.

Yes! Humiliation as classroom management! Brilliant.
For some reason that looks sarcastic to me. It isn't. It's overly exuberant, and the sober me knows all the reasons it's a really bad idea. But the current me? Thinks it's the best thing since sliced watermelon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy dance time
I am pretty sure I get to go to Maine in a few weeks! I had mostly convinced myself that I wouldn't be able too, because of the whole Ozzie thing, but now I think I have found a house sitter who will give injections and is available even though I will be gone over the 4th of July.
more tired, but happy dance
