Summer of Love 2007



Just in case there are those of you that don't believe we have any fun... booyah. Yeah, i'm bringing that back. Here is a quick look at our Summer of Love 2007 aka Our Wicked Fun Summer. Yes, if you were wondering - Kevin Nealon's Mother and I are BFF's because she does know my first name. Also "Nature Rob", our hiking guide in Tahoe, did hate me for calling him "Nature Rob." Honestly it only made it more fun to say. Note that I am stoked in that picture and he is only smiling because we are the cause of his pay check.

Blogging... sure, what the heck?

In an effort to be better about staying touch I have been coerced into blogging. here I am. I guess it's easier. Now it's your job to keep up with our exciting lives. Today was so exciting in fact that we both sat in workshops for 6 hours. My workshop was held in a middle school cafeteria where the seats were understandably made for 6th grade butts. First, my butt enveloped the round hard plastic chair that tilted oddly to the left so that I had to keep adjusting. If you were looking from behind it must have seemed magical that I could maintain a seated position that long without support. Next, the presentation was so interesting that I counted 3 chin whiskers (which I have plucked-we're still ok) and believe I am developing a new mole on my arm. I drew a happy face on it and I think that made all the difference. Lastly, I tried to liven up the crowd by cracking a joke... crickets. Bueller... anyone...anyone? Just because we teach special education doesn't mean we have to act special. Or does it? But Travis bought me a lobster for dinner for making it without incident through my first day. One down, four to go. I think I can, I hope I can. If you have any suggestions for workshop humor, let me know! I have to redeem myself.
