Getting caught up but not getting things caught in my teeth...

Lessee...

Ok, first, Bree finally graduate high school. We're so incredibly proud of her it's almost painful. *sniff...my baby is finally a growed up person thing...* She's had a few weeks of craziness and now it's time to get down to basics. She starts college in August and she's already being feared and admired by my department...they've had to put up with her wit, charm, and intellect for several years and a couple of the senior Ph'D's have requested she take their classes. I think so they can be sure she gets the training in academic torture methodololgies she needs, but I could be worong...I'm just the dad.

Now, the teefs. I had round two of removals two weeks ago when they pulled two bottom teeth. It was surgical and, of course, more expensive, but incrediblye easier...except for the being sick for a week afterwards. I go on June 24 to get the remaining uppers remove, the upper temporary plate installed, and the lower bridge installed....then it's just weeks of pain and suffering as we refit the whole rig as the swelling goes down and I adjust to the new orthodonture.

I'm teaching Japanese kids English again this summer. I may well be teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) at the college this year as well as my usual Comp I and II load...the department chair is threatening me with it and it doesn't pay any more but hell, it's a job! I did, however, get a raise this year...three years and I got an extra 2o cents per hour...ah, well...it's all good.

OH, and I got my first Fathers Day gift! From Chris and Chaz...it's the Diskworld Role Playing Game rulebook...a GURPS system book...and just laugh out loud, fall on the floor fun! I've already got a couple of ideas for adventures.....hehehehehehe.....
