I wanted share a funny indecent from yesterday.

I picked up Mason from a robotics meeting at school. It was one of those days, the kind where I'm late to pick him up and on the way, the car beeped at me, because it was low on gas. So, we stopped at the gas station on Lexington to fill-up and from there took University Avenue home, which we almost never do, because it's one stoplight after another.

So, we're stopped at University and Hamline or thereabouts and a firetruck pulled up along side the sidewalk by Wal-Mart's back wall. There's a bunch of scrub brush there and gravel. The firetruck driver uses his megaphone on high volume: "WAKE UP." Two seconds later in very bad, high school Spanish: "¿CÓMO ESTÁ?"

My only guess is that a homeless person had fallen asleep in the bushes, but both Mason and I were very startled.  It was very strange.  

But now Mason and I will sometimes randomly yell out: "WAKE UP! ¿CÓMO ESTÁ?"

Teaching!

I just got confirmation from the Loft that I'll be teaching my "Mars Needs Writer's" class, which starts in a couple of weeks (03/25/15–05/20/15 | Wednesday | 6:00-8:00 p.m.) If this suddenly looks like something you'd like to sign-up for, the class is by no means at full capacity.

This also means I should probably look at my syllabus and figure out what the heck I'm doing! But, hey, I have a little time to figure it out, which is good.

I'm at the hospital clinic right now hanging out while Shawn does her follow-up with her surgeon. She's feeling 100% better now that she's off all the drugs. Honestly, I think the worst part of all this was how SICK the medicines that were supposed to be helping with pain and nausea made her (which included the unmentionable gastrointestinal problem, which is, of course, a well known side-effect of narcotics.)

So, hooray for that.

Now that the weather is turning nice, my friend Naomi and are going for walks, ostensibly to exercise, but really we tend to walk to a coffee shop or otherwise hang out at a place like that afterwards. So, I won't be losing weight. However, Naomi took me out to Fort Snelling to walk around near the abandoned barracks and officers' housing. That place is amazing. As I was just telling a friend, it's easy to believe in fairies because you have to wonder how it is people don't really know about this place, despite the fact that it's a ghost town that's almost in the middle of the city. While we were wandering around imagining being billionaires who could turn this into an upscale boutique town, two deer came bounding out of the underbrush--a mama and her spotted baby.

Seriously, people: Fairy land.

I wish I'd brought my camera.
