View from my window at 10:49am this morning. Normally I can see the new hospital off to the left and some other buildings directly ahead.
Last night I met Katie, Opik, Kevin, Nathan, and April at Airport Pizza to see Coho and the Flannel Mongers play. Fun times. Here they are:
The band and our group.
I was in Teller last week getting to know students and staff. I had a great time learning about the students' interests and goals. Susette, my principal is awesome and fed me every night. Susette and the teachers love the NACTEC program and are more than willing to help kids get involved. The entire junior high population will be descending (literally) here Tuesday.
Despite being woken up several times during the night due to people (kids? adults? drunk? excited?) driving by on 4-wheelers starting about 2 and stopping about 4, I was still able to enjoy this beautiful sunrise.
Other views around Teller:
I've been doing a lot of reading as there is not very much going on around these parts. I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and I'm currently reading the second in the series: The Girl Who Played with Fire. Good stuff. While waiting for Susan to finish this book, I read Welcome to the Departure Lounge: Adventures in Mothering Mother by Meg Federico--a funny, yet sad book, and Sometimes We're Always Real Same-same by Maddox Roesch--about a couple teens and their families in Unalakleet, AK. I read Brides of Eden by Linda Crew--historical fiction about a religious cult in western OR. I've started doing the ABC thing I did in Beloit. Read a book by an author with last name starting with A, then B, blah blah Z. I allow myself a book in between, sometimes 2 if one is about AK. I'm done with C (Crew) and after Larsson 2, I'm going to read In This Way I Was Saved by Brian Deleeuw. I'm not much for reading about books I'm going to read so I have no idea what it's going to be about but there are black shoes with red smoking coming out of them on the cover. And by the cover alone, I think it'll be good.
is there perhaps a reason that you used the word 'happenings' in this post? Because i suspect you are emulating a certain someone....
