Lots to do!

    My "second" school wanted to know why I wasn't able to take this training to do special types of on-line courses. They're really hot for me to teach these other history courses.  At this rate I might almost be full-time with them, although I won't officially be recognized as such. What I do like is that they have faith in me, and the extra cash will certainly help.  Yesterday I applied for the full-time spot at my main school, so officially I'm up for two tenure track jobs that start in the fall.

    Things have very much calmed down around here. The other day, though, I made a joke that I was going to wear my short black dress (not from Kendra's closet) to the interview.  The joke wasn't very much appreciated but no issue was made over it. Today and/or tomorrow I'm going to get my teaching demonstration together. I'm going to do my presentation on the 1919 trial of The Masses, a radical magazine whose members were indicted during World War I for violating U.S. federal laws that said one could not oppose the war.

    I tried to reach out to my sister-in-law through a message since I'll be passing through her area.  I received a very lukewarm response. So I'm just going to Georgia, do what I have to, and head home. But something has to give because we're heading to my mother-in-law's for Easter, and if we're all going to be together there has to be some respect.

    One last bit of shameless self-promotion: My second proposal was very well received by the Acquisitions Editor. It's looking good!
