Still on vacation?

Wow, it's still a bit slow around here. I've been sleeping in until about eight each morning - I can't seem to convince myself that spring break is over and the quarter has actually started. I have finally finished the last of my beach books, and maybe since we're out of weekdays and into the weekend I'll be able to shift my attitude. I have a little bit of homework to do, but there are no papers to grade yet, so it's all under control anyway.

We wound up not going to the theatre last night. Otis has come down with sort of head cold type thing and was deep into a healing nap right up to curtain time, and I let her sleep. We had some soup for dinner and watched Bend It Like Beckham before heading to bed. (It was not as profound a movie as I had been led to believe, but it was a lot of fun.)

For Neds and Wheylona: Here are some driving directions home; check out step 40.

Mostly for Otis: This video is almost too cute:

Tryin' to hit a stride

Man, re-entry has been a little wobbly. I took care of business yesterday, but today seems to have drifted back to slow and sleepy. The sunshine helped; our big endeavor was to walk down to the U District to meet Dingo for lunch. We visited Otis's six-day-new nephew in Wallingford, too; I guess that's two endeavors. In the evening, Otis had appointments and I went grocery shopping. Yahoo!

I did get some welcome news: I will interview in three weeks for a full-time English faculty position at Cascadia CC in Bothell. It's nice to be asked to the dance, especially after the response to my other application there.

We'll be heading out to West Seattle for some theatre tomorrow (Friday): Otis's friend Ann is having a one-act play produced as part of Seattle Playwrights Studio's Annual Showcase. The evening starts at 7:00 pm at the ArtsWest Playhouse & Gallery on 4711 California Ave. SW. Admission is only five bucks; anyone want to come along? Give me a heads-up and we can carpool.
