And so Fall begins again...

I'm back to teaching now.  Gone are the lazy days of sleeping in until noon, writing and reading for most of the day and then spending what scant  money I had left on wine and pool at the local VFW Club (where drinks are only two dollars).

Indeed, I even found myself a part-time job!  I work at an outdoor accent place south of Northampton. I do web programming for the guy that owns the business which sells sheds and gazebos.  Yet, he has yours truly doing web programming on some of the many domains he owns (and makes big bucks off of on the side).  He pays me under the table which I'm fine with.

What else?  Well, my cute piano composing/PH.D. candidate neighbor I mentioned a long time ago turned out to be kind of crazy.  The police came by a few days ago and rammed his door in as he hadn't reported into his department or showed to teach his class.  He wasn't there as he had already checked himself into the local psych ward due to a meltdown.  I visited him in the hospital and he seems to be doing better, but will doubtless be evicted as soon as he returns as he's two months behind on his rent and his door is destroyed now.

I'm keeping a low profile on the social scene this time around.  I've got one friend who I'm close to in the dept.  Other than that, I have two friends I've made in the small village I live in here.  One is a pool shark and the other is an artist.  So we play pool a lot.

And I continue to write like hell.  So is anyone still visiting my blog?  How the hell are you?

Sounds like you are managing to have some fun despite the low profile. That's wild about your neighbor! I'm glad it turned out the way it did, you know, instead of them finding something worse inside that door.

Anyway, I'm still reading -- RSS never dies! Glad you're posting again.

Thanks for coming by again Vague. Yeah, it's time for me to start keeping this up again. I mean, it's four years old! Why let it die now?

Plus, I have plenty to talk about still.

Glad you're posting again too.

Someone observed recently that 9 out of 10 blog readers are complete lurkers and only 1 of 100 comment regularly. I think the numbers are pulled out of the air, but probably not far off either. We're out here...
