Talking with Xtal of the Westermark, my desire to burn meat over fire is up again. And to spit roast eggs, which I got to do at Rowany thanks to Tanw the Confused's cooking frame. So at Mist's Coronet, we're going to do these things! Xtal has posted a list of cookbooks, which I will peruse, but I'm thinking of spit roasted meat, eggs, and some sauces--nothing too complicated for my first cooking playdate. Come join the fun!

Her list of sources is at http://ppfuf.livejournal.com/26862.html

No dancing; well, he's more taciturn than that. Healing well, go off the antibiotics, keep it raised, wetpacked, hotpadded, and come back in two weeks. Oh, and you don't have cancer there.

1. I do not make a good patient. People taking care of me == me failing, in my brain. Being bored makes me want to do stupid things. Stupid in the sense of "Not Lay on the Couch/Bed and Heal."

Wet pack. More than I thought.

Thanks Jen and Paula. This twice a day? I'm an invalid.

Surgery at 1130 last night. Doctor exised all of old scar. Ambulatory but can't keep dressings on. No pain until about 20 minutes ago. Est cost 20k total

EDIT: pain minor. Need nap. Est bill 20 k. Actual cost? Less I'm sure. Not dying of refusing care(necrotizing fasciitis, blood infections, repeating fever etc) PRICELESS

I know I am loved and supportted.

Monday and Tuesday I had odd dreams, and had felt dehydrated. Wednesday, while I was teaching my class, I felt dizzy and weak.

...meeting an old friend on the road, or in this case, a picture on the internet. The sudden shock of past memories good and bad flooding in, slipping underneath the day's cares by sliding through the memories of recent times.

Hey, Norham!

Got the news on the job; they're going with the other candidate.

Sleep, then calculate a plan B.

First: I urge you to go vote for Liz Scott (Elizabeth de Beauclaire in the SCA) for the Really Goode Job:

Frankly, she'd be great at it, and we'd get to drink more goode wine.

Second: I'm teaching this summer at the Summer Technology Academy, at San Jose State. It's a great program aimed at middle school students (leading up to High School students) exposing them to engineering. It's inexpensive ($300 for 3 weeks, 3 hours per day either morning or afternoon) and it's a great way to keep their minds and bodies engaged during the summer. And I'm teaching it. If you have a student at an appropriate school who could get to the class, please consider passing the information along to your school board, or better yet Math or Science teacher:

I'd be happy to go and speak directly to any teacher or class, and describe what's happening.
This is huge fun, and I'd like to get enough students to warrant more duct tape escapades!

1. That's too many rude people. Especially the stroller wielding gawkers, driving one way, looking another, talking to a person in the third direction, who bump into me and are shocked and disgusted. And Adam Savage (that mug) can certainly draw a crowd.

Putting them here for my Brother's Sake. You don't have to read them, or like them, but you should come along and check them out with me:

Passed one of the CSETs, I'm sure, and the physics class went well enough--it depends on whether one of the other candidates is stellar, but they don't lay off stellar science teachers, usually. And I always underestimate my chances. So, I'll know by my birthday.

Going offline for a week to substitute teach a high school martial arts beach camp. Yep. Beach. Camping. Martial Arts. Substitute teaching, meaning getting paid.

What fun things are people doing memorial day weekend? Anyone want to meet up at Maker's Faire? And who wants air conditioning? I do. Sea breeze should do it.

Well, that could have gone better, could have gone worse...
