 I found this old photo of a group of friends from Williamstown, and realize that Nick, Kareem, Sara Ansell and I are the only ones left in town. Sniff.
I'll be coming into Portland on the 16th- late on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, depending on your generational vantage point. Dad promised to fix my teeth on Thursday morning, but I've also been promised fun at the beach. I leave late on Tuesday night for to the daily grind. I had a great lunch with a student this afternoon, a fellow who, while introverted in my first two years working together, has become quite disarming and inspiring. I've also had the honor to eat with a group of my student colleagues about once a week to dream up programs for next year. Student leadership development is so easy with students who knew how they wanted to change the world in sixth grade.

Last night I was lucky enough to meet Will, Callie's special friend, who went to school with a colleague of mine. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a conversationalist after 9:30pm. Will is healing well from his grueling journey, so any cold beer and human contact seemed to make him buoyantly happy.
Work is not fantastic at the moment, and I'm counting the days until I can spend a little quality time on the left coast.

 I'm looking forward to next week's semi-vacation in Boston and Cape Cod! Our VISTA Close of Service will be this week near Province town on the tip of Cape Cod. While I will still be acting as VISTA leader in training, there should be moments to relax on the beach and not think about Habitat for Humanity's wetland problems on their newly bought land, who will coordinate the America Reads/America Counts tutoring program next year, or if we'll fill the VISTA corps by pre-service orientation in early July.
The weather here is pristine, and the town is currently crowded with Williamstown Theatre Festival interns, striding down Spring St and waiting to be discovered.
This is from a Memorial Day BBQ at Nick Baker's house. Oh, the things we do to keep ourselves occupied...

June 09, 2006 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg
Ohmygoodness! This is the day that Anna Monas, Jenny Minnity-Shippey, Donald Duck, and I were born! Jenny and I are now perfect squares, Anna Monas is a prime number, and Donald is a timeless mathmagical adventurer! Uzaib dropped in this morning to apologize for not being able to come to my birthday party, satiating my despair with a cow-dotted milk-shake making Moo Mixer. Very Williams College, whose mascot is the Purple Cow. Alas, like Uzaib, most townies are engaged with Alumni Reunions this evening. It's too wet and rainy for an outdoor shindig, but we still have an indoor porch and some very enthusiastic mathmagic lovers. With Uzaib engaged in reunions, we are now able to pull out the booze and pig roast, which we had previously decided against in deference to his religious beliefs. However, my supervisor and chaplain to the college will also be attending, so we'll have to keep our revelry to interfaith-appropriate levels. Thank you for the well-wishes! I couldn't be a happier 25.

June 07, 2006 by Sadie in Sadie & Greg
 When I need to chill out at work, I stop emailing and start using the telephone. Today is a chill day. After a morning of telephoning, I am eating my day-old half-off sandwich, parusing a four-page typed to-do list, and trying to consider when to take a vacation this summer. Nothing makes me feel more in control of my life than eating lunch at my desk and parusing my calendar for vacation time.
It will most likely rain on my birthday, and I'm a little nervous about Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land- my apartment is tiny and oddly shaped, and doesn't have many appropriate walls for projecting. We'll have to get creative.
