12/21/2012 Eve!

Hello you :)

I am writing from the public library in my birth-town, Birmingham, Alabama.  Home to celebrate the holidays with newly widowed Mom, I am enjoying (really) the shutting of some doors and the opening of others.

Here is the plan:
1.  Next week, drive the old Chevy down to reopen the Panama City Beach house.
2.  Return to Birmingham to bring in 2013 with lite champagne with the Mom.
3.  Schedule meetings with the English Program Chair at the local college down there for January to set up instructional labor (mental wages, they call the adjunct life).
4.  Once I return to old St. Pete., now less creepy since the college drama is neatly wrapped up, look into closing out the condo lease as early as possible, pull some cash from my "retirement" account if possible, do a few back and forth trips to seriously set up PCBeach residency.
5.  Resume the oh so fabulous on-line tutoring with Mega-corporation, Pearson.
6.  Be practical and expect the impossible.

Point 6 is something George Friedman mentions in book predicting geopolitical trends for this new, young century.  Not a bad bit of instruction.

Here, in Bama, there is indeed weather.  And I am wearing a fleecy jacket, something I thought I was done with forever.  Well, you just never know, do you?

Peace and power, especially to the New Englanders who lost their darling children to that idiot with the gun, the guns.  Ridiculous.

Kisses and be ready for flashes of non-provocational newsbites . . . at least for now, as another tide rolls in.

New Year is Rollin' in!

Dear You - still me!

If you are looking for the zone titled Unchained Professorette, it was brought down due to numerous and lovely scandals.

One must not convey truths :)

The current moment in Florida-land reports as follows:
1.  Alabama just defeated Georgia to win the SEC championship.
2.  The essay reviewing cue on Pearson's Smarthinking is loaded with help requests.
3.  The fabulous Momma is holding her own in the Birmingham mansion and I shall see her again in a few weeks.
4.  The tards in zip-code 33701 can bend but not break me.
5.  And your professorette is on her way to the next adventure.

So, what is it about moving along that appeals so very, very much?

Love and kisses to the gorgeous soldiers who have had my back and made teaching in "33701" worth every bloody second!
