hi peeps - the school year is shaping up really nicely and I'm planning all kinds of awesomeness/insanity for the fall!

in the next month, I'm going to see cake and dr. dog and les ballets trockadero (yes, those are men in tutus), and then I'm going to NYC for a 1 day conference and much museum viewing (I've never been to the guggenheim!!!!!)

stay tuned, I'm going to ROCK & RULE this fall!!!!!

YUM!!! and YEAH!!!!

hooray for $$$! yesterday was payday, so I ate out at the first restaurant I passed - wow!!!!! omg!!! and other superlatives!!! mmmm, I had duck :D holy shit, it was SO good! come to troy and eat there!!!!

meanwhile, the other awesome thing I 've found out here can be accessed by yourselves the world over on your inter-web. it's a radio station that is independent or something. anyway, they somehow manage to play all awesome music only! it's cool!

hi peeps-

after a ton of set up work, I began teaching my new 4th grade class this week... they seem like a good bunch, lots of them are sweet kids who know how to listen and have fun while working. I've even got one genius! (well she's pretty advanced for her age, anyway.) now we just have to see what happens once they're off their best behavior!

as for the staff, there's a few really terrific people who have been most helpful, and then your usual mix. (nuff said!) but I'm looking forward to working with the good eggs.

I'm looking at activities for this fall, and I've got my eye on several concerts - this seems like a good region for it! so check in and find out all the fab stuff I'm doing!

BYE
