re #224: Oh, no worries. Remmers' sense of humour is a well established
phenomenon. All appropriate precautionary measures are already in place.

I'm back in Ann Arbor, after a very boring return trip from Norway.

No nuns, though there is a church connected to the school.

We spent a few hours at art fair. Almost no smokers but the barbecue fumes
were pretty bad. Nice and cool and breezy in the shade. Jim found two pairs
of 'sandals' to wear outside instead of slippers, for $6 total. He wanted
to look at baskets. We found ceramic baskets, wood baskets, various other
turned wood products somewhat resembling baskets, and finally some ash baskets
from Maine selling for as much as I have earned this year before taxes.

That's because they are ART, not just baskets.

But they crossed the Ann Arbor border...that changed them to ART.

IHB I just met a couple who are trying to buy the house next door. They
seem really cool. They love dogs, dont mind barking, think creeping
charlie is ok, and seem just like the mellow sort of people who will
fit right into this neighborhood. They are grad students at UofM. They
havent closed on the house yet and have some conditions that they need
met before they do. Just little things like a furnace. Hopefully, the
people who own it will get that stuff taken care of in time. If all
goes well, they will be moving into it in 30 days.

I've seen Mister Zeh's baskets, but I always missed the demonstration of his
labours. Yeah, when you start with a tree, a basket can get expensive.
After a few hours at the Sailing Club booth on Liberty, I wandered the Art
Fair on North U/Thayer/Washington/Ingalls Mall, catching part of pot-throwing
demonstration. Good stuff.

I'm still a bit jetlagged and therefore up before 6am, but I did discover that
I'd thoughtfully left myself a day or two worth of the good tea. I was
dreading trying to get down to the coop during Art Fair.
And after about a month and a half I've actually got a place to myself for
a bit. That's *really* nice.

Feeling much better after calling in sick yesterday. While I was not
technically horking up my innards, I *was* asleep for about 26 of the past
30 hours, which leads me to conclude that there really was something
wrong with me. (beyond the usual, that is! :)
Oh--IHB my communication was accepted with no further do-si-doing :)

17" LCD monitor, yum.
Plus we spent some time at the store trying to figure out whether it was
wall-mountable, concluded that it didn't seem to be officially supported but
physically possible. Then I leafed through the instruction book after getting
home and found a couple pages of instructions for attaching the (optional)
wall bracket. (The keyword, it turns out, is "VESA". Some kind of mounting
standard)

VESA makes a lot of standards relating to monitors. There are
VESA-standard video modes, as well.

Re #241 - sometimes, even if you aren't technically sick, your body will force
mandatory rest so you DON'T get sick. After all that school and work, I'm
sure your brain and body needed the rest. :)
IHB I get to see my dad tomorrow, and we're going to pick up my new car.
Shortly after he leaves, my boy will arrive for the weekend. I can't get much
happier than this. :)

I've actually drawn rough plans for the major parts of the cargo carrier
I'm designing for my bike. It will allow two minimally modified .50
caliber ammunition cans to be mounted securely (and locked at the same
time) using only one small padlock.
Now, I just need to design the additional module which will lock onto the
back to secure my hiking pack and sleeping bag.

Met with the school president today. Was offered a higher salary than
I'd anticipated. They will mail my contract to me. I saw my classroom.
Small, but lots of windows. I can't wait to put in plants and posters
and such. There's a big crucifix above the (dry erase!!) board, but I
can handle that.
I'll be meeting with the other jr high teachers on Monday, which will be
cool.
Now if I could stop being somewhat terrified....

(Oh, yea, dry erase! When I used chalkboards I used to get covered in dust.
I'd cut through the carpeted office on the way to my mail box after classes,
and leave a trail of white chalk footprints behind me. With dry erase not
only is it easier to teach in technicolor, but you get to get high on the
fumes, which I think generally improved my teaching (there was generally
plentiful room for improvement).)
As a student I was always terrified to get in front of a class to talk, but
even from my first day of teaching, I just loved it.
