10742. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/10/2004 11:35:40 AM FYI Department: The James Salter short story for which I did the fronticepiece, is finally out. 10743. SnowOwl - 8/10/2004 11:50:51 AM It's a beautiful looking book, Wiz. Congratulations. 10744. Absensia - 8/10/2004 12:11:30 PM Snow is right, Wiz. Beautiful work. 10745. Magoseph - 8/10/2004 12:12:56 PM Yes, beautiful, but I don't know if I posted the right size.

10747. arkymalarky - 8/10/2004 12:31:37 PM I remember that cover. Great that the book is out, Wiz.
Mag,
Teachers have to take the Praxis here. I took the NTE for English and social studies years ago and I won't have to take the Praxis unless I pick up another certification, which ain't happenin' this late in my career. We also had to take a basic test under Clinton to prove we weren't illiterate, which offended some teachers to the core.
Abs,
We are communication-poor in this house. I've got to call the cell phone and home phone companies and work on getting a better situation. We can't quite depend on the cell phones out here. They get reception ok, but it's not dependable. Our regular phone bill and deal is ridiculous, though, and I never dropped the extra line for the internet, even though I'm on it much less than I used to be. Maybe I'll get all that done Friday. I think I'm off that day. I've got a few business ends to tie up before I start back for real anyway. 10748. wabbit - 8/10/2004 12:31:46 PM A5 and Woden -- July, is it? Congratulations!! 10749. Absensia - 8/10/2004 12:39:04 PM Arky, I have cable modem now, so was able to get rid of the extra phone line for the internet, though didn't save anything since the cable modem is slightly more than dsl and the extra line cost.
Right A-5 and Woden, congratulations. I assume we are all invited to the festivities! 10750. arkymalarky - 8/10/2004 12:58:05 PM I don't know if we'll ever get cable modem. We're still hoping for a natural gas line to come out this way. 10751. arkymalarky - 8/10/2004 12:59:09 PM Congrats to A-5 and Woden, btw! I think you should get married on my birthday (30th). 10752. arkymalarky - 8/10/2004 1:00:24 PM I wonder if there's been a brawl at Judith's Village meeting. It's awfully late and I'd thought we'd get a report.
I'm headed for bed--working tomorrow.
Sigh and yuck. 10753. angel-five - 8/10/2004 2:26:46 PM
Thanks, guys.
I was just telling Woden about some of the rather stunning work Wiz has done and linked here. She hasn't seen it. One piece that I remember in particular was a shrouded figure done in multiple luminescent colors.
If there's a linkable body of it that I can view, that'd rock. 10754. SnowOwl - 8/10/2004 2:39:11 PM July. Plenty of time for us all to save up to attend the big event.
I vote for Abs and I as flower girls.
Seriously, congratulations to you both. 10755. Magoseph - 8/11/2004 12:00:08 AM Well, still no news from Juds about the meeting last night, I hope she's alright. Her phone doesn't answer. I guess she must be doing physical therapy this morning.
Hi, everyone! 10756. PelleNilsson - 8/11/2004 12:02:01 AM Maybe she was drawn and quartered. It's rough there in Texas. 10757. Magoseph - 8/11/2004 12:26:48 AM Pelle, I hope that my youngest doesn't have a Kerry/Edwards sign on his front year down there. I'm afraid to ask him if he does.
10758. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 8/11/2004 1:05:04 AM Thanks for the encouragements, Gang! 10759. PelleNilsson - 8/11/2004 2:25:19 AM At this moment Sweden's poulation is 8,999,878. It is expected to pass 9 million before midninght tomorrow. 10760. Magoseph - 8/11/2004 2:27:09 AM Pelle, I suspect this post is meant for Escapes. Do you want it there? 10761. PelleNilsson - 8/11/2004 2:39:05 AM Yes, I think this news is of such import that it deserves a place in then widely read Café. There are two more now.
