Big bite, but I think you are up for it. You write with the sensitivity that is needed. And you have the skill set.
I can so relate to this. I taught EFL in Zimbabwe in the nineties and sometimes at night I wonder what happened to those wonderful young people.
I am passing on an award over at my blog and I’ve given it to you.

ps.. only my favorite Cohen song of all… and that’s saying something when each one already means so much.

I love my job. IN all other respects having two children under 5 and working full time is appalling. But what I do is of inordinate value to me and they know that.

I’m scratching my head over MY long-term plans, too… although I want to go hang out in Posey’s preschool to a distracting amount now. Candy, you say?

thanks for all the tubal info…though Suzanne, i think we’ll stay away from the Essure simply b/c it’s the instant effect of the tubal that gives it the slight advantage over the vasectomy, and the Essure takes months to scar over enough to be effective.

mind you, it’s looking like i may get a reprieve from going under the knife after all…just got a call about a vasectomy cancellation in early July.

I’m so happy to hear that it went well! Go, Bon!

As for the tubal: I used to work at a reproductive health clinic, and let me tell you that a tubal is NOT minor surgery. A vasectomy, however, IS minor surgery. If at all possible, the guy should do it (sorry, Dave!). Tubal ligations are abdominal surgeries.

Have you looked into the Essure? I checked the website and it is available in Canada. I am looking into it, and I know a friend who had it with no problems. Much easier than a tubal, and just as effective.

How do you do it?

How do you make “stuff to be done” read like poetry?

Mmmm, candy walls.

I have seen many jobs over the years that seemed perfect, but I let them sail by because I wasn’t ready yet. Now I feel that I could take on a traditional job (and enjoy the medical benefit plan that goes along with traditional employment). Guess what? Pfffft, recession. Oh well; it will happen when it happens.

I hope it went well for you today.
