Immediate Gratification

Wow! People are reading my blog! That gives me the most ridiculous thrill! As C.C. would say, my tail is wagging! I think I have praise issues. Seriously. Several people have also read my students' poems. I will pass on comments, but I know they'd love to read them on the web.

Anyways, my screening interview went pretty well. I really liked the person who interviewed me, and if she is an accurate representative of the district, then sign me up!!! The process is really fast and dirty "30-questions-in-30-minutes-no-drawn-out-answers-please..." But, I am pretty used to that now, so I think I sounded at least moderately intelligent.

As far as updates on our personal life...Here is a picture of our newest acquisition:

We love our new Vibe--no jokes about the name, please. Buchi even has her own seat, so those of you who come to visit can sit dog hair free (unless you have a thing about riding in the hatchback, which would be strange.)

I also have some bragging to do about my friends. Many of you know Michael Swickard. He is a very talented actor, and now I can share with you that his friends and family are not the only people that think that. (Just kidding, Swicki!) Read a review of a recent performance here. Also, he recently won the KCACTF Irene Ryan Award. That means he has been recognized as one of the best college actors in the country!

Also, our dear friend Scott will be starring as Puck in Topeka Civic Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. We can't wait to see it--rumor has it that furry legs and horns will be involved! Read all about it! (No, the balding man with horns is NOT Scott.)

More Later!
