we have a driveway running through our backyard!i feel like a broken record...the yard is a mess, one of the septic pits still exists, dead plants abound, and i am really, really, tired of this...blah blah blah. you'd think at some point these guys would want to finish so they could get paid, if nothing else!
so, i'll concentrate on something different: gus starts school in less than three weeks! daddo sent a large box from l.l. bean that was filled to the brim with all kinds of back-to-school goodies. gus has a new backpack with light-up wheels AND a gecko AND his name embroidered on it as well as a new turbo lunchbox with his name on it. awesome. his clothes are cool, too, mainly because he is so large that he fits into clothes designed for a middle schooler. he will be a big stud this year, as always. he even has a mighty pair of bean boots in case it ever rains again (actually, it did this afternoon). i think he's ready to get back to school.
there was an interesting article (well, interesting to me) in the sunday new york times that made me wistful for my career again, although i know i can't do a thing about it. it was in the arts section and it was about how right now there are like 24 museum director positions available at many high-powered museums across the united states and how nobody seems to want these jobs. they require a ph.d. in art history, preferably an m.b.a., good business sense and great social skills. i have three out of four! i think i'm feeling a little house-bound presently. if anyone hears of a good part-time curatorial position within about a 25 mile radius of my house, let me know.
