An Interview With Myself
The original post of “33 Questions For An Interview With Yourself,” by Dragos Florin Roua, is at http://www.dragosroua.com/33-questions-for-an-interview-with-yourself/ I liked Dragos’ question list enough to borrow it for a blog posting, so here goes: 1. What Do You Do For A Living? I teach computer science at a two-year college. I also make and sell lampworked glass beads and jewelry. The one satisfies my left brain, the other my right brain, though both overlap into the other half. 2. Who Do You Love?

Hmmmm
On this date in 2009, nothing of significance happened. CSCI 1300 students took their third test, I failed to make it to dance class because of that, Trader Joe’s in Sandy Springs ran out of fresh cranberries, and Donny Osmond won Dancing With the Stars, proving he’s not all washed up at 50. How many Mirror Ball Trophies does this make for Kym Johnson anyway — has she beat Cheryl Burke’s record yet? Post from: Art of the Firebird.

Show, Thoughts on Day 2
Today’s weather was nasty, so between it and the economy today wasn’t a lot better than yesterday at the show. I mean, we only made ONE sale (a rather good one, to be sure) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Wow, just wow. It did pick up between 3 p.m. and close at 5 p.m., but that wasn’t enough to make up for the lack of sales earlier. In talking to the other vendors, I’d have to say that sales were universally bad. I know that Audrey wasn’t happy, not just because of the slow traffic and closed wallets. Apparently the Cobb Galleria management told the wonderful “Miss Daisy,” she of the morning coffee and muffins and the afternoon HANDMADE CHOCOL

Show, Day 1
It was slow. What can I say? Pretty much we were all in agreement — even Audrey, when she came and browsed late in the afternoon, said it had been slow. Of course, we have had shows with slow Saturdays before, and they have usually been followed by good Sundays, so we shall remain optimistic. In the quieter moments today, I had chances to chat with some of the other vendors there. I found out from Kim St. Jean when she will be teaching at William Holland Retreat next summer (the last three weeks of July!) so I can account for that in my summer plans. I had a nice little visit with my little buddy Chase St. Jean, who actually DID rememb
