IHB I had lunch with my favorite boyfriend -- Griffin. He is such a joy to
see during the week. (I have him on one weekend day, so seeing him during the
week is a lovely extra.) He blew me a kiss while they were leaving. Such a
sweetie.

IVHB they're re-designing one of the most dangerous intersections in
Kalamazoo. Too bad it took 130 accidents and a car-train death to get around
to it. :-P
IAHB I think I did fairly well on my American Lit midterm.

Finally settled down to calling some contacts I'd been given before vacation,
and ended up spending about 20 minutes on the phone with one guy (another
sound company in Cleveland). Got some pretty useful info on the state of the
business, etc, also sounds like somebody I'd want to work with.

Got the DVD burner! Mandrake 9.1 installed very nicely, although I'm still
trying to get the Nvidea network controller to work (weird driver situation).
Going to try RedHat 9.0 first and see what that does.

Hmmm. Nothing like writing up a resume to give you a sense of
accomplishment.

#261: I'm happy they're putting a light in that intersection as well. it
needs it, badly. However, the traffic hangups it creates are a major pain
for me, since it directly affects my travel to and from my (current) house.
I'll get about a month or so with the new light until I leave town. Figures,
everything improves as I leave. :)
I had a great weekend in Toronto. My dad's family threw a party for Tracy
and I, and we received all sorts of "slightly used" gifts we can use around
the house, including a surprisingly large number of items from my deceased
grandmother and great-grandmother. I'm the first person in the family to get
married from my generation, and they're quite excited about it. It was nice
for Tracy to get to know them a bit outside of the funeral setting, where she
met most of them for the first time.

Saturday morning, rescued a rataan sofa (Hudson's/Marshall Field label)
in pretty good shape that someone stuck by the dumpster, dropped it at
Salvation Army. One less thing to wind up in the landfill.

IHB I have power and home phone service again. MAJOR storm this morning.
They aren't calling it a tornado but it did just as much damage. I had
no cell or land phone service OR power for 14 hours-- and I am lucky to
get power back. All the traffic lights are blown out. Trees are uprooted
everywhere.
re: way back there... Yeah, I LOVE dry-erase. I'd previously taught with
chalkboards. Was always covered in dust, but the worst part was how the
chalk dried out my hands. No matter how much lotion I'd use, I'd end up
with cracked, bloody cuticles.
Ditto on the "I hated talking in front of class but loved it when I
became a teacher" thing. Not sure how my students feel about my
yammering in front of them, though.
Watched 'Dead Poets Society' tonight. God, I love that movie.

... and Senna would be interested to know that the FedEx Forum-- the new
Memphis Grizzlies arena that is under construction-- was heavily
damaged. Part of the arena may collapse. The three 500-ft cranes are
twisted and also may collapse, so Beale Street and downtown have been
evacuated.

Yep. I heard the storm rolling through but no tornado sirens, so I fell
back asleep. Was around 5:00 AM or so. When I woke up again three hours
later, the power was still gone. That's when I found out how bad it had
been.
The city is in a state of emergency. Driving sucks because most of the
traffic lights are blown out. Or blown off. There's trees split in half
or uprooted everywhere.

IHB I have cheap direct tickets to meet up with boy in Milwaukee in a couple
of weeks. Plus, venue means a chance to see a friend I haven't seen in
nearly a year--not to mention going shoe shopping with her! :)

Scott, I mentioned something about it in announcements a couple of months ago,
I think. We never saw that much action on our cranes, by the way...

IHB today I got an auto-darkening welding helmet and a sleeping bag which
compresses into a size small enough to fit comfortably into my saddlebag
and still leave room for more stuff.
