P and I jumped on a plane the morning of September 16th and flew to Arizona. We rented a Dodge Charger. The first night, we stayed with his uncle (who he had only met once, for about an hour, 20 years ago). He took us to Mesa, to P's dad's grave, to the Indian canals, to his grandfather's house, to a historical landmark house built by his great ( Read more... )

Sorry it has taken me so long to do this. Three weekends ago, I co-taught two, one-hour dance classes with Talia. Both of us have taught classes before, but it was our first time teaching dance.

Because I had all my time sheets turned in, he was ok with me taking the day off. Phillip had to wait until 8am to know for sure, at which time his supervisor confirmed that he would ( Read more... )

I started a long reflections post prior to my 10-year high school reunion.  That came and went without me finishing my post.

I was going to rework it and post my contemplative entry the day after Halloween.  Obviously, that didn't happen either.

I stepped down as MoAS, in hopes of redirecting my focus toward *doing* A&S.  At the same time, I ( Read more... )
