Man, the good times have just kept on a-rollin', at least weather-wise. The almanac says we have been running about ten fdegrees above average for the past fur days or so. Whatever the numbers have been, it has sure felt good! (JustJon says they hit 100 in his neck of the woods.) Whether I have been biking to Bothell or scootering around town (which is how Otis and I spent most of Tuesday), it has just been grand to be out in the world.
Things have settled down a bit here in the RD. Otis is trying to establish a balance among her various enterprises. She's had a couple of massage appointments and is trying out different marketing tacks while at the same time juggling her paper-reading and her counselor-tending gigs. I have three weeks of class left, but I have been getting busier with meetings and such at Antioch as I prepare for teaching the overwhelming (to them) four-class load this summer, and wonder what will happen after that.
One of the things we scootered to on Tuesday was an impromptu meeting of the League of Underemployed. In recognition of Johnbai's upcoming change in status, Otis, Dingo, Mighty Mel, and I had lunch with him at Pho Cyclo to celebrate the joys of working less than full-time, or of working more than full-time at several less-than-full-time jobs. There was very little bitterness involved (at least at this meeting) and we decided that all anyone needed to maintain the shreds of pride in their identity were business cards and website. Cheap enough.
In any case, I hope to make some headway to day in developing some alternatives for the future, but it is still wide open and I have no idea what it will eventually look like. Maybe like this or this?

You could possibly design your own with the guy in Olympia.
You have 4 classes this summer? How cool is that?
You said it, it sure has been feeling like fur days. I may as well be covered with pelt with the way my whimpy, heat-intolerant body reacts to a humid 80 degrees.
In Solidarity with the League of the Underemployed (different country, same shit),
-W
Tim Wise gave a public talk and then a workshop at Cascadia, he was truly excellent.

When being underemployed gives you the time to attend cool events, it is totally worth the attendant hassles.
