Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Oooh, good one.

Y'all just inspired me to call my parents all last minute like (since it's a three hour time difference). Apparently they're ok (mom was asleep--since she retired she's been staying up late, but she took a few days of work at an old employer covering for someone, and has to get up early again. She moaned an complained to me and I laughe at her)

How's your leg, btw? I get back from France mid-October. If you're feeling well enough, we should try for some kind of NC-ista mini-F2F.

Leg is, well, sometimes ok. I use a cane often. Definitely feeling well enough for a mini-F2F.

Great! I'll try to organize something when I get back. Here's to your continued leg-healing!

Yikes! I hope your dad's ok, ita.

I'll second the NC-mini-f2f plan. Or third it.

Much-ma for you Hayden.

Gracias, y'all! The interview was hard to gauge. I think some parts went well - there was a moment where the principal told me that she wished I were present to see how they were nodding along with my assessment of integrated technology in education - but other parts seemed to go less than well. They told me they'd call back later today to let me know if they want me to come in for a follow-up interview early next week, so I guess I'll know soon enough if I made the first cut.

Best of luck, Hayden. Teaching interviews can be really verve-wracking; they're looking for so much stuff.

Keep us posted!

Fingers crossed for you, Hayden.

Today, I will re-write (because I let too much time pass before mailing) thank-you notes to a couple of people and mail them. A lot of other things need to happen, but I must get that done.

I know this is a long shot, but, if anyone works for or knows someone who works for a hotel/resort/entertainment destination spot at the level that they could reach out about donating an item to a charity auction I would be super duper grateful. The silent auction portion of the event I have agreed to organize routinely has sports tickets and/or corporate boxes donated as items. A non-sporting high-end experience items has been requested. The target population are 2-fold, couples in their 50s-70s and families in the mid-30 to 50s with elementary to highschool aged kids. This is a church event, so all-expenience paid weekends at Hedonist resorts would not so much be the thing. THANK YOU!
