Are there some good climbing cliffs around Montreal?  Have you ever climbed in the Shawangunks in NY State?

Well yesterday anyways...

Yesterday was one of those "magic" days. Kid and I went to the local game store, and found the exact game we wanted...reduced.  The exact same quilt I had wanted in walmart a month ago...but wasn't willing to pay $50 for, was found at the church sale for $8. 

The hippie style tops I love that are hard to find, found one.  The jeans I loved at first sight...were my size. The denim jacket the kid spotted from the door, was his size. 

The old woman that tried to block me in when she parked at the church failed to estimate the agility of a 21 yr old truck and a determined 48 yr old woman. The cop watching from across the street even cracked a smile when I pulled out.


All my favorite songs came on the radio, we didn't forget anything later at walmart, and we didn't have to wait in line.

Magic.

It was at a gym. I think there are some good places nearby but everything here is still pretty new and we haven't gotten organized enough for a camping trip yet.

Ah, The Shawangunks are near the Hudson River region of NY State off the Taconic Parkway a little south of Albany.  I tried rock climbing there as part of class years ago.  It's quite a mecca for outdoor climbing in that area.  Hope things get organized or settled soon with peak camping season coming up.

Had an unexpected and very informal job interview. Apparently I'm sought after these days. :o

Sweet!

I landed a very nice letter of recommendation from a very (locally) prestigious individual.

2 monitors and 1 computer and the free TV came today.  Ordered them Sunday night.  The other computer is on back order for June 9.

My research methods class, which has been good pay but hellish with students who are clueless about research, was cancelled. Apparently I have been demoted to undergrad research - which is not the pansy ass stuff I was trying to get the students to at least read in the last class.

Hell of a lot of reading (three textbooks plus articles) but at least it's real research methods. Not sure how the students are going to get all the work done in five weeks.

Five week classes are nice.
