A piece of my past may be on it's way ... east???

Go ahead and laugh. It..... IS...... laughable... but I used to play the 5 string banjo. Is the tune to Deliverance going through your head? It should be!! The story:

My Mother's side of the family were southerners... come on.. "Puckett" ? North Carolina to be exact. I think blue grass is in her blood. She bought a cheap o banjo in the late 60s and plucked a bit. I showed interest, not promise, but the folks set me up with lessons. I really was never very good. But I loved to play. It was a difficult time (they divorced) but I got this alvarez out of the deal.

I picked my banjo up off an on for many, many years and played, but I haven't played for at least ten years now & I have quite seriously forgotten everything I ever learned.

It is currently worth close to $600. They made this particular model for only 2 years. I am going to let it go for $325 to LDS ( Low Down Sinner) on the bike forum I frequent.

LDS is out of work. He races motorcycles. As a matter of fact, he is racing this weekend. He is about my age. He plays guitar, drums & jams with friends often. When it comes to motorcycles and music & instruments , LDS knows a lot. So when he talked about having just picked up the banjo, I pm ed him with a price but he wasn't interested. I told him what this banjo going for on E bay, but I doubt that he believed me. This was the beginning of January.

He e mailed me yesterday, the same day I picked up a money order for a set of crash bars for my vulcan ..divine providence? Or just a coincidence. Either way, I confirmed my asking price of $325 (unless shipping costs me more than $60) , and that I'll sell it to him only if he promises to play the hell out of it. He told me it will be in good company among his other assorted instruments & that he wants picts. Crafty fucker.

So, the picts. are in his inbox & within a few days I will know how the races went & whether or not the Low Down Sinner wants my beloved alvarez.

Posts/ emails from Jessica

On my Facebook wall Saturday:

MOM, I MET TWO OLYMPIANS TONIGHT. It was crazy! I got a pic with them. Curling players who got bronze last time.


Her status this am:: Jessica Meyer would like to repeat last night for many reasons... learning how to curl at the curling club, watching the Bulldogs win, meeting 2 curling Olympians, dancing the night away at gmas, and coming home to Kings of Leon and pizza with good friends.... Could it get any better?

In my Inbox this am: Subject.. Interview (yeah my heart stopped with this one... still holding our breath for PT school)

So in my women's health issues class I need to interview you about my birth. I know it's a bit strange, but if you want strange you should come to this class. It's...interesting. Anyway, if you could write a little blurb on "what went down" when I was born that would be great. It's due tues at 6pm.

Some things to ponder...
what time was it?
how long in labor?
how long in hospital?
any drugs/meds taken (epidural?)
you didn't know if I was a b or g right?
Where were D and J?
was dad in room?

Thanks!

Facebook is awesome. F

So, I just read Dan my "fake interview" that I sent to Jessica. She will wake up this morning to something to smile about... at least Dan laughed:

Just for your freaky teach:

Yeah, my Mom thought I was a boy, but I was a girl & that sent her over the edge. My Mom wound up in the psych ward, my Dad cheated on my Mom with another woman, she got prego with a boy, my Mom attempted to shoot my Dad but missed.

After learning to aim properly by trying curling, she was readmitted to the prison psych ward where her illigitimate son was ( he thought he was a girl) & they both took up curling. They won the prison curling championship together. When they were let out of prison my Dad stole their trophy & has been in jail ever since.

CRAZY Housmans!!!

This picture is of my older sister, Donna, her two kids, Erica & Deanna & Donna's friend, Hank. Yep. We are related. Yeah. And we are sooooooo above Stearns County. Hardy har har.

First time leaving has sunk in.

Well, I had two very distinct & difficult moments today. We met with the architects regarding remodeling the science prep space. Two things happened:

1)The whole set up of the two "science prep" rooms represent my second and best incarnation of science teaching to me. I looked at all of that old stuff & visualized it being gone or at least totally rearranged into a foreign space & it made me sad. Difficult moment #1.

2)As I stood back & watched & listened to both Kat Stewart & Sara Johnson very confidently express their vision of what must happen for that space to serve its best purpose, I felt very, very proud while at the same time feeling very, very sad realizing that our careers would parallel one another for a much shorter amount of time than I would like. Difficult moment #2.

I'm almost glad that I got a preview. It serves as an awesome reminder to not take time together for granted. I am glad for today.

Out O the blue:

Open up my email: From Mother Dearest:

No matter what his other accomplishments, Tiger Woods will be remembered for proving once and for all that hearing about other people's sex lives is even less interesting than watching golf on TV, and that's a considerable achievement.

end of e mail. No sig. Moms are great!!!!!!
