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!

There are topless protesters across the street.

Are they protesting toplessness, or just shaking their chests in protest of...shirts?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

just shaking their chests in protest of...shirts?

There's always a group of guys who walk in the 4th of July parade wearing kilts, and they carry signs that say "Down with Pants!" (Also "Free Willie," with a picture of Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons.) [link]

It's these guys. I'm not sure what the toplessness is supposed to signify. They also have a vuvuzela, which is kind of annoying.
