Aspen!

Oh, hey all. I'm in cloudy and stormy Aspen, CO. My flight has been delayed an hour, but lucky for me, I had a two hour layover in Denver scheduled, so I should still make it home. I've been down here for a job interview at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School, but I also managed to have some fun. I flew in Wednesday evening, and my friend Liza picked me up at the airport. We stayed at her aunt's house, and Thursday morning we skied some sick lines in the deep pow of Highlands Bowl. Sweet! My interview went well, I think. I taught an algebra 1 class, and at least I didn't bomb entirely. I got a good feel from most of the people that I talked to, which was encouraging. One woman was talking as if I was already hired. I was actually pretty tired by the end of the day, after talking to 6 or 7 people throughout the day. Then, last night I met up with my friend Retta from college and we saw some short films in Aspen. It is so tremendously exciting to be a part of the thriving art community of Aspen! Unfortunately, I forgot my Uggs and I nearly wasn't allowed in. I just showed them my Armani glasses, however, and I was in. Sick! Hopefully I'll be home soon.
