Has it been that long !?
Hey all,
Well, shockingly, I've let August fly by without doing many posts. School starts an Wednesday and I am frantic with writing syllabi and trying to get organized. My old friend Curtis was unexpectedly in town for a day or two, so it was great to catch up on things (he lives in the UK) and hoist a few. Kate "the awesome one" is coming for a visit in October, so September seems just a hurdle to overcome. Ah well...all good things in all good time.
Speaking of good things, my Peace Corps application experience seems to be humming along. I finally got my complete medical kit sent to DC last week and I was floored when I found out today that I am medically and dentally cleared (a guy at the Seattle office told me it usually takes about 4-8 weeks!) All hail the federal workers who got their hands on my info! I am still waiting for legal clearance but I'm assuming it's a different department. Let's keep those fingers crossed. The sooner I get invited, the better, as you can imagine.
I continued to drive my cab on and off during the month. I couldn't do it five days a week (too long sitting in one place) but once in awhile is a great experience. I have managed often get a cab that has a coveted CD player. It's so much better than listening to the radio. For those of you playing the taxi customer BINGO card, you can mark off "really bad-looking transvestite" and "self rightous vegan". That one-two punch happened in rapid sucession on Sunday. Good times...
Well, gotta get back to work.
All the Best,
John
