Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of my friends and her husband are moving to Egypt with three kids, ages 5, 1 1/2, and tiny baby. But she's going to be working for the American University, where they provide housing, a car, and a whole ton of other stuff, including private school tuition, in addition to a very nice salary.

The internet is amazing. There is an immense web site empire called singaporeexpats.com. It has EVERYTHING.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Singapore is super exciting! And if the money works, man, I don't know.

ION, tonight is one of those nights where I think I should drink more. (Not more volume, more often.) I have been so tense all week, and am no longer. Phew.

Advice solicited:

I am sending resumes and cover letters to schools. I have principals' emails as well as snail mail. Do I just email the resume unsolicited or do I send a hard copy?

You're not responding to something specific? I think I'd mail a hard copy, but I'm old school.

Right, Jesse. That's what I was thinking. I don't want to spam potential employers, but nor do I want my resume never to make it to them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

while we are asking advice. Starting in May, I am going to need to have someone pick mac up from afterschool and bring him to my work place (30 minutes) once a week. Is that something that one can reasonable ask as a favor of a friend who is not working at that time, or should I just hire someone for 1 hour once a week?
