we are in brooklyn visiting Hollis, Maggie, and Jane. we walked their dog to Prospect Park this morning where there are off-leash hours until 9am; there were more dogs in that park than students on the UW-Marinette campus. There are more restaurants on this block in Brooklyn than in the 2-3 mile radius around our house. (There are also oodles of non-white and/or non-straight people. Crazy!) This morning, Rhonda saw a squirrel run by the window with a styrofoam cup in its mouth, and she responded by shaking her head and saying "it is just not right. Just not right."
we are enjoying good company and good food. At the same time, the time to return to our midwestern homestead is nearing, and I am appreciative of this fact. It has been good to get away from life-as-we-now-know-it, and it will also be quite good to return to our new home.
Hollis made me dig up this video I made last year as I was preparing for the job market. please accept it as a token of my utter lack of sanity and as an insight into how I landed myself a gig as an english prof.

that is great! Thank you to Hollis for making you dig it up.
What a fun video! I'll tell you right now, this is Oscar-worthy!
Annee said the music was too loud (I agree, couldn't hear your lovely voice very well. I love the kissy-lips at the end - that alone should have gotten you a job.... in a kissing booth at Pride?
I'm enjoying reading your blog and keeping track of your life so far away.
Take care, and give Buddy a big ol' kiss for me - make sure it's on his fuzzy little lips!
Martha
