we had morning doves across the street. they're pretty. but very loud and ... either really distracted by pretty shiny things or very dense.
yes - really on the herons. I loved seeing them come back to Fells Point. Before all of the construction on Boston Street, there were several pairs by the waters' edge, plus osprey. Wild Baltimore.
I'm working from bed. I never do this. But I'm wiped out from all of the stuff, and just need to chill. My body is starting to give me signs that it is tired of putting up with all the rush-rush stuff. Iris is at preschool today (guilt). Plus, the office is now right next to the bedroom... so I'm REALLY quite close to it, I have little (as I type this, I know it is going to jinx me) that is actively on fire, and I need to do a bunch of planning work. Plus, everyone else is on vacation. And just in case the slacker-slut really kicks in, I have Vampire People AND Serenity dvds.
Karl, here's to you quickly finding an even better job, all the ~ma you need for that.
Also, all you job-seekers, please be careful of online job sites [link]
Monster, and possibly other sites, has been under attack by massive phishing.

My friend and I saw a HUGE HUGE ass hawk while we were walking around Mt. Washington last week. Really rather awesome.
Karl, I'm so sorry. Much ~ma to you.
Karl--we miss you around here something fierce. Lots of job-ma heading your way!
I hear all of you an the clothes thing. I have gained enough weight back that only 3 pairs of pants fit me anymore. v. v. depressing. I considered buying more pants, but I gave away my "big" pants when I lost all that weight last year and promised myself I would monitor mmy weight so I wouldn't need them anymore. Well, I am still 11 lbs lighter than I was, but I gained back 16, and those 16 have to go. I am determined to lose the weight and fit into all my sugar clothes still in my closet.
So long, afternoon Raisinets. How I loved thee.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking that much as I like Thailand, maybe I'll start looking for a post in Eastern Europe or the Americas after this year
Go Americas! Choose Americas!
Yes! This!
I started a really fun tutoring job yesterday. It's a 13-year-old boy who's really advanced in math. He's possibly enrolling in calculus this year, but I'm mostly working with him on math stuff outside the standard curriculum. It's so much fun to work with a kid who's that into math -- he literally jumped with excitement when he was telling me about the proof that there are an infinite number of prime numbers.
I hear a teacher shortage has California schools recruiting overseas.
The Bay Area is woefully lacking in teachers. Really.

Heh. Awesome!
Hopefully he has great things ahead of him....
