Hi Kathleen, sort of nostalgic to hear about your train ride to work
but I thought it never rains in California...wait...with all those mud
slides it would have to, right?

Hope you are all well. Great to hear from you Becky. I am very much looking
forward to the cccccccccc's --except that scary talk part. I'm never happy.
I bitch 90% of the time when they don't accept my proposals, I freak out the
other 10% when they do!
Mysti Update IV,
So, in the continuing saga, there is really no idea when the college at
which she works will reopen. First they said a week, now it looks like
longer. So, she is thinking that she will take the boys up to Amarillo
(where Terry, their dad, and the grandma live). Dallas is fine, but she
wants to be in a place that's more familiar.
The kitties back in Beaumont are okay, but there's no AC in the house and I
guess it is just hot as blazes there.
I wish that I could tell this tale in the amusing way that only Mysti can,
but I am merely able to pass the messages along.
Kind and Humble Update:
I am fine, we had a lovely day here yesterday with thunder, lightening,
then when the clouds and storm had seemed to have passes, raindrops fell
from the blue sky. I have decided to think of that phenomenon as amazing
harbinger of some wonderful fortune. I'll let you know how it works out.
I took the train to work for the first time today. Ahhh, such
bliss--listened to the _Garden State_ soundtrack on the ipod, fell asleep
for a half hour and then convinced a Management prof. to send his students
to the center on the shuttle bus to campus. And all of that before 10 am!
be well,
k

Dear Mrs. Evil,
How do you know it's not true love? For him, she may be "the one". For someone who buffs in the buff...except for the shiny red boots...aren't you being a little harsh?
Dave, the only position I found in Europe listed with TESOL Career
Services was this one in Bulgaria. How far is Bulgaria from Paris? Do
they have wolves in Bulgaria? I don't know, but your friend can check
it out at:

Chad, congratulations on your new baby Erica. Hope everything is going well and mother and child are home by now. For a baby born 4 weeks early, five pounds ? ounces is a good birth weight. I wish you would bottle her smell and send it to me. Nothing smells as good as new people.
Mysti, sounds like your life is way too boring. You need to come
visit me in Murray, Kentucky. I'm enjoying the internal dialogue
you're sharing with the listserve. I still laugh when I think of the
earring and the construction workers episode. I think someone needs to
be collecting some of these messages for a tell-all, true confessions
of composition teachers best-seller. Have you been able to go home
yet?
Amy, I bought a copy of Truss's Eats, Shoots & Leaves to read in prep
for your article. It's the British version with British idioms. Did
you read the American version? I don't know if I'll understand all the
British idioms but I do know the difference in the interpretation of
the idiom "to get knocked up" in American and British cultures.
Andrea, how did your half-time award ceremony go? What's left for you
to accomplish? You da woman!
Don, I'd love to hear about your dog, or better yet, send me a picture
of Bea-gal. I'm missing my beagle like crazy but don't want to get
another one until I can stay home more.
Hi Chris and Shar, I'll be going to Bangkok in December, but can't find a flight that goes through Guam. One of these days....
Kathleen, sounds like your new position is working for you. I look forward to seeing many of you in Chicago at 4Cs next year. My best to all of you. Take care, Becky
