Stargazer is doing a ten-minute presentation at the local JC today, “Pluto, the Un-planet” for a hiring committee. They’re looking for an adjunct professor of Astronomy. He doesn’t want to teach, but is realizing it’s easier to get a job if you have a job.
Since they’ve bent over backwards to accommodate him, we’re hopeful; even for a part time contracted position.
He’s also had a good time putting together his talk. After 7 years of teaching on the college level, this was simpler than filling out myriads of applications!
Our marketing manager at work had recently started dating a young man. It seems he is a severe alcoholic and suffered a bout of pancreatitis and alcohol poisoning. It led to respiratory distress and he had to be intubated which caused trauma to his lungs. He is currently sedated and on a ventilator. His parents came down from the Midwest. His doctors are not hopeful. What an awful things to happen to all concerned—especially as we know from Michelle’s blog and all who have responded to it.
Please pray for B, his family, and all who love/care for him.
Husband and boys made it safely. They stopped by daughters’ house and learned that the damage to the car was much more extensive than seventeen year old had indicated. Her younger brother says, so that’s why she would not send me pictures. It is thought that she may have fallen asleep while driving. I suppose, if you are going to do that, hitting an empty parked car is probably best. It was over two thousand on the parked car, looks like it totaled ours. Which is not necessarily very much money.

Praying Stargazer gets this job, Michelle. A nice foot in the door, it sounds to me.
Kim, that’s so sad. My alcoholic grandfather died of pancreatitis. Very hard for the family, and especially with one so young. 😦
