the other shoe falls

What does that saying mean, anyway? Or have I gotten it wrong? Anyway, after all of my moody moping and weeping and gnashing of teeth last week, things are starting to turn around. I got notice today that I was picked for a committee that I really wanted to be on (and it's a national committee so I can go "haha!" to the tenure people) and I made some contacts in the high school library community. Also, a committee I'm running right now had so many people volunteer for it that I am not sure I can keep them all. I believe that may be unprecedented.

In more mundane news, I went to the dentist today and had my tooth fixed. I have to go back in a few weeks to get the final fix so don't even try to tempt me and my temporary crown with anything sticky. I'm on to you, buddy!

And finally, the sad news. Last night on my way to Spanish class I accidentally ran into a pigeon. May you rest in peace, Squawky.
