flyer, flyer
Gurl says, "Your next job needs to be your dream job." Ricky says, "Hon, you should just coast and catch up for a while." They're both right, and I will sure do some coasting. But when a flyer from the adult education campus I was interested in comes to my door, albeit for a former tenant, sure as hell I'll fill out their survey and ask for info on the fall curriculum. The ex was always disturbed by the fact that I don't plan, I go with the flow. Sometimes life flows your way, and this was one of those times. Someone is telling me my ideas are right, and that I need to start working on them now. Now is the time. It felt really good to do that, after such a long year to take a step, even if it's a little one, forward for a change. I think it's gonna be pricey, and I may have to scrimp for a while. I may have to put rugby on the back burner in lieu of studying. I seem to be losing interest anyway, so perhaps it's time for a new chapter.

I could adopt you and you could take advantage of my tuition benefits. Though it might seem strange to the folks in personnel that my son is older than me.

I can explain to them that age is not a factor in most Dad/son relationships.

Hmm, I never pictured Chrisafer as a daddy. I'm having some odd visions in my head now.

I'm with both Gurl and Ricky. Go for it, Jimbo. Just promise that if you're not playing, you'll at least come watch with me. :)

Adult education? It sounds so dirty, really. Have you looked at any funding/grants for a high needs degree? I'm working on getting my doctorate entirely paid by the government because of the desperate need for math instructors.
