26708. arkymalarky - 1/3/2012 2:36:18 AM Yay! Sounds like y'all are doing great. Congrats on all your kids doing so well! Mine is married and working on a second masters while her husband gets his PhD. 26709. Ms. No - 1/3/2012 6:18:15 AM Happy New Year!
Wonderful to see some old familiar faces --- Ohio, many congratulations on your kids' accomplishments!
26710. Ms. No - 1/3/2012 6:18:30 AM Wabbit -- love the pic! 26711. vonKreedon - 1/3/2012 6:57:27 PM Hey all and happy new year! I'm back at work after a two week vacation. I'm having a hard time feeling motivated. 26712. judithathome - 1/3/2012 9:06:49 PM Belated Happy New Year....good to see familiar faces.
Don't wait another year to return!! 26713. Jenerator - 1/4/2012 4:48:06 PM Happy new year, everyone! Hard to believe we have known each other for 15+ years!
26714. vonKreedon - 1/4/2012 6:12:39 PM It is really nice to see so many Moties checking in for the new year. Where are you all physically now? What are you looking forward to in the new year?
I'm still in Seattle, working at MSFT. My son is at Fresno State, well he's currently at home until the 13th when he returns to Fresno to start the tennis season. I'm looking forward to finding more joy in my job as we start the push to release Office 15. I'm also "looking forward" to putting a new roof on our house so that our insurance will still cover us.
Nice to see you all. 26715. Jenerator - 1/4/2012 8:45:47 PM I'm still in Plano, Texas. This is my 11th year teaching (can't believe it). I'm in the middle of a career identity crisis, so I am hoping that 2012 will give me direction as to what to do next. Pursue a Ph.D? Get out of teaching? What? Life is good. 26716. arkymalarky - 1/5/2012 6:40:04 AM Wow! 11 years already?
I don't know what I want to di. I could retire any time and have other things I'd like to do, but I still love teaching. 26717. arkymalarky - 1/5/2012 6:40:29 AM ...to do 26718. PsychProf - 1/5/2012 3:08:54 PM After knowing Arky and Ms No all these years, it is clear that they are passionate, honest, committed, and extraordinary teachers. Would that we had more. 26719. Wombat - 1/5/2012 11:58:30 PM I'm in delightful Potomac, Maryland. I am revelling in my daughter Wombette's success with her college applications (3 for 3, so far), and waiting for a higher security clearance, so I can get back to work. I guess Wombette must have been around 2 when I first got involved in the Mote/Fray. Scary... 26720. arkymalarky - 1/6/2012 4:24:07 AM Thanks PP. Like most committed professionals, I love my job. When the system begins to treat teachers as such there will be more. 26721. wabbit - 1/8/2012 12:27:03 AM Hey Ohio! I remember that day well, and being thrilled to hear the location of your son's apartment. I trust he has moved on by now, the noise would be difficult after a while. Say hey to Mrs. Ohio for me - if ever you are visiting and have time to spare, let me know!
So that clearly puts me in the Boston area.
Good to see some familiar faces - PP, Wombat, vonK, Jenerator and BhelP! Happy New Year to all (and to you Lemwalker, I know you're out there!)! 26722. wabbit - 1/8/2012 12:27:41 AM ooh, and mags too, your post appeared! 26723. OhioSTOPAS - 1/9/2012 3:57:06 AM Wabbit,
My son moved after a year - not because his location under the Citgo sign wasn't THE COOLEST LOCATION EVER 26724. OhioSTOPAS - 1/9/2012 3:59:28 AM (Oops, clumsy typing)
. . . but because he made friends at B.U. with whom to share a place and save money. He now lives in an apartment near Brighton Center with two roommates, and works at Beth Israel Hospital. 26725. wabbit - 1/9/2012 8:39:01 PM I know the area, I'm in and out of St. Elsewhere regularly. That apartment was the best location (right behind the Green Monster in Fenway Park for those not familiar). Congrats to him on Beth Israel, a great hospital. 26726. vonKreedon - 1/9/2012 9:31:32 PM I lived in both Brighton and Allston in the late 70's, really enjoyed the large group house I lived in Allston Square before I made the move to Washington. I was there for the '78 blizzard, much fun was had jumping off the roof the neighboring elementary school into the drifts. 26727. OhioSTOPAS - 1/10/2012 2:49:45 PM The then-future Mrs. Ohio and I spent the blizzard of 1978 snowed in together at my Newton apartment.
(And in case you're wondering, our first child was not born until 1981.)
