Good Night and Good Luck

My house is a mess this morning. We started getting ready for our Halloween party last night. All the furniture has been moved and some of the decorations are already up. I really don’t want to be rushing around at the last minute and be so tired on Saturday that I don’t even last through my party. So, I’m being smart and getting started early this year. I wish all you blogger friends of mine could be there to see it... But I promise to take lots of pictures.

I’m actually having two costumes this year. I’m going to another party tonight and I don’t want anyone to see my Geisha costume yet, so I’m going as a corpse bride. But it looks pretty cool too. Oh and Tim is going as a jester. It’s basically an excuse for him to wear his jester hat and juggle for people. I bet you didn’t know that Tim is an accomplished Juggler. He’s always begging me to let him juggle fire, but hey, I gotta draw the line somewhere.

In case you were wondering, my web class was a big success. I was nervous at the beginning, and I sweated profusely, but then I forgot to be nervous. I feel like everyone had a good time. I was able to keep things loose (I brought bagels & schmear for the class) and told lots of stories. Everyone laughed and asked lots of questions. Anyway, after the class was over, MSgt Evans came up and told me he was really impressed with my teaching abilities and maybe I should consider teaching. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s lovely to hear someone compliment my teaching style. I think it would be hard to teach a subject that I wasn’t that interested in. All the same, I really did love being up there.

I can’t remember if I ever told you guys how my Tech School in Maryland asked me twice to come be an instructor for the Digital Media Course. I turned them down because I couldn’t ever live in Maryland. I hate that place. I could maybe live in Annapolis though. When I got orders a few weeks ago, (which I also turned down) it was to be an instructor at my old Tech School. I think they wanted me because they knew I’d probably teach my class using sock puppets. And who doesn’t love sock puppets?

On a final note, I'd like to say goodbye to my dear friend Larry. He has worked in my building at Buckley since before it was my building, but the company he works for lost the contract with the Air Force and so his last day is today. I will really miss having all our debates about music and politics and outhouses. Good Luck in Wisconsin Larry!
