Greetings Citizens. So I'm checking my emails this morning before I do some packing. And one of them is from Smith E., the other photo teacher where I'm teaching. And she has a message introducing me to he boss at another community college where she teaches. It seems her boss needs a digital photography teacher at a school near to where I am moving. Can you believe that? Anyway the woman calls me twice on the phone for a total of five minutes and the job is mine. A 3-credit digital photography class.... beginning spring quarter! I can't believe it myself! And that means I can drop the non-credit class. I enjoy it but the money isn't there. Plus this new class is at the same time and 30 minutes closer to home.

I turned in three images to Sixth Street Gallery today for a photo show. Of course I hand-delivered the images to L. We had a coffee and a nice talk. She told me she needed some space because her old boyfriends are driving her nuts. I said I wouldn't hound her like the idiots who dumped her but that I was smitten with her. She smiled. She told me she likes having conversations with me; I told her she has the softest lips I've ever kissed. And to my great relief, not once did she say, "Let's just be friends." So, of course I'm a little saddened by the this turn of events but I think things will turn out well for us in the end.
