I didn’t sleep well last night– it was a warm evening long after the sun dropped beneath the horizon, my arms ached from a vigorous bout of weightlifting, and my mind stubbornly stamped its foot, refusing to rest.
I dreamt about dropping my computer repeatedly. Once I dropped it in the grocery store, once I [...]

Cuts, Sunsets, and Metaphorizing.
Posted in Poetry on 29 August 2007 | 2 Comments »
Last weekend I mistakenly blundered into a metal post on which was screwed a rather nasty looking bolt. The said bolt left a rather painful gash in my right side– which has made me excruciatingly aware of the frequency with which the skin on my side moves and stretches throughout any given day. While patching [...]
Blast fickle internet service!

I apologize for not being online much recently. It’s my house’s fault. Some sort of wiring trouble. Bah.
If I forget, remind me to post a conversation I had with God about transubstantiation…
Teaching Advice from Those Who Really Care

Abby (2nd grade): “On their first day you really shouldn’t give them very much homework.”
Stephen (4th grade): “No, you should give them the same that you will give them on all the other days– that way they can get used to it.”
Abby: “But– not too much.”
Stephen: “Well– just don’t ever give that much.”
On Coffee, Mugs & Driving
Posted in Personal on 28 August 2007 | 2 Comments »
Really– no one should ever say anything against my driving ever again.
I discovered yesterday that I had, in fact, driven down the 5 freeway, from La Mirada to Mission Viejo (in varied traffic) with a ceramic coffee mug on top of my car.
Yes. I am telling the truth.
I think this supports the suggestion that [...]

I stopped by Mayers this afternoon to pick up remaining stuff from last spring’s play– and came across something which brought back many memories from directing last year.
The following is scrawled (sorry Carsten) in sharpie on the scrap of wood …

This morning I had my interviews with ECCU and they went swimmingly. I genuinely liked the two ladies I’d be working under and they seemed just as eager to bring me on board. Tomorrow I have breakfast with the whole leadership team and they’ll be making me an official job offer.
Tonight I had my first [...]
I love San Francisco.

As Andy and I were crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, I snapped this shot on my camera phone. Many thanks to Seth Cutter for making it computer-friendly.
House Warming
Posted in Food and Wine, Personal on 22 August 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Dinners (wherein the table is crowded) which were sort of spur-of-the-day and end up serving a house warming function make me quite happy. As does Purple Rain.
First dinner of the year (school year– yes I graduated, but am still on the glorious academic schedule) down– so very many more to follow.
We welcome all who [...]
