It's interesting how life winds in and out in it's beautiful tapestry. It brings people together although they've been apart for years, sometimes all at once, and often for the best.
This weekend, over Memorial Day, I met up with old friends Micah Pullins and Colby Clark. Cole, who John and I have always been most fond of, always laments, "What kind of a name is Colby? It's a cheese! Who names their kid after cheese?"
Lately, over the past 2 weeks, the summer school program has been advertising for a Language Arts teacher. Colby's dad is in charge of the summer program this year, and as Mark and Colby were golfing on Saturday, Mark mentioned my gasoline costing 50-55 cents per mile, and Cole mentioned that his dad was hiring English teachers.
Eh, voila! I am teaching summer school starting on Monday. I'll be teaching without a break---and then for the next 3 weeks. WOW. Whew!! I can't believe I am going to do this. It makes my heart beat faster in fear---new students, new curriculum, longer classes...
Wish me luck!!

Girlfriend - GOOD LUCK!! I nearly had a heart attack just reading that you would keep teaching without a break. I have a pretty slick teaching job out here and I'd still kill someone with my bare hands if I weren't able to have a few days off.
You are AMAZING.
Good Luck to you. That really is the pits but I mean that in the nicest of ways. Love you
