The Reports of My African Imprisonment Have Been Largely Exagerated

In case you were concerned, I am not in some African prison, as my email-hackers would have you believe. If you received an email to this effect, please ignore.

In addition, for the time being, do not use my msn.com email address. I am trying to cancel it, but it is more tedious than I would have expected. If you need to email me something, use my work address. If you don't know what it is, call me and I'll give it to you.

Recentness

I've spent the morning looking into reciprocity agreements between states, in regards to teaching certificates. It seems that if we were to move to Buffalo, NY (which has been on the radar--with varying degrees of focused attention--for several years) my TX certificate would "transfer" in a sense. So that's good. I'm still interested in teaching on a collegiate level, and so did some more checking (or checking again) on admission into a grad program around here. I know I'll have to do a TON of leveling, so that's not thrilling. It will be a lengthy process of many years, it seems. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to find time to paint. It has reached a frustration level.

Ironically...it seems I know how to waste time, even if I can't find it in my schedule. Yesterday I, along with another teacher, did a dance/catwalk display for CHS's annual Prom Fashion show. That was time consuming enough, as I choreographed, spliced together music, and practiced repeatedly for our 3 minute, completely original "Revolution of Dance" (see this and this for some idea). I'll try and post a video if it becomes available.

As for the fashion part, I decided to wear a kilt. Which is another way of saying I decided to make a kilt. Sean Connery was my inspiration for this, so I decided to take my emulation of him all the way. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
The day is now well underway. Some would say "mostly over." I still have much to do--too much to fit it all in. I'll need a nap, but it remains to be seen what else will get done. I will give you something to do, fair readers. Which do you prefer, hair or no hair?
