Oh dear. My students write a "lost book" of the Odyssey (a creative writing project they do in the epic style of the poem incorporating relevant ancient Greek themes). One of them focused on Odysseus going to a new island and meeting a king who has a weak son who must prove himself to his father. It's a stirring tale with manly declarations of strength and courage. The problem for me is that the son is named Sean K's last name. I can't stop giggling. Sean, did you know you "stood proudly looking at [your] handy work [sic]"? Odysseus gave you some "alone time" to share your daring exploits with your father at the end, even. Hee.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Am home from day off work day. I spent close to $1,000. And had a tour of the new theater (still under construction). I got to see a proscenium arch fly off the deck about 5 feet! Gotta love flexible space rooms. Oh ya, and I have been tasked with coordinating frequencies for wireless mics and communications for 5 or 6 buildings in the Arts District. Ya, that should be fun. Hopefully we will have the most frequencies, with 24 wireless mics, and have priority. But still. Oy. That should be fun.

I figured out where my DIY home show obseesion came from . weather. It is very hot. the house is in the mid 80s -- which means outside hit the mid 90s at least. Right now I can't move away from the fan -- and somehow reading doesn't work with a soggy brain
