And that's all, folks . . .
Apr. 12th, 2009 07:37 pmI am almost too tired to post.
First of all, thanks to everyone who played any role in the reign. It was one of the ahrdest things I have ever been involved in, yet it was also one of the most gratifying.
Coronation marked an end and a beginning, and I am looking forward to the future.
It also comes during a very tumultuous period in my life.
By making some tough decisions, I think we've stabilized the financial situation for the short term at least. Now we need to look at the middle and long terms.
I know I have a job for the next 11 weeks, even though much of that is going to be closing down programs we have been building for more than 2.5 years and which I have been in charge of for more than half of that time. I am going to really need to find ways to keep the work the kids were doing moving forward.
I do believe my boss will be able to find a way to keep me working for the agency in a decent role, but this also gives me the freedom to look for other jobs -- especially teaching job. I have a telephone interview for a really cool charter school Thursday. That would be the first of many steps, but it would be a really cool place to be.
Allison is working part-time scoring standardized tests -- but doesn't have to be queen any more -- and is still looking for a library position.
We'd like to stay where we are or move to the Albany area, but we have also long wanted to live in Northampton, Mass., Iathaca, NY, parts of Vermont and, of course, northeastern Massachusetts.
A friend who does freelance writing work has given me some projects to work on. This coming weekend, the biggest bike race in the U.S. in terms of number of competitors -- the Tour of the Battenkill -- is centered one town away and runs though our village. I will be covering it for the local paper. Floyd Landis is riding in Sunday's pro race.
I had a nice time at Eastern Sunday Mass this morning in a golding chair in the back of the church hall. It was odd not kneeling, but the rest of it felt comfortable.
I felt peaceful the rest of the day.
Thanks to all my friends for everything they have done and everything they continue to do.
I love you guys.
