I saw an owl fly by today and land in a tree. This was exciting, since I've never seen a wild owl before and also owls are cool. This was a small (approx turtle-dove sized) owl and it looked brown in the darkness. I tried to take a flash-photo of it, it might come out.

Still have not heard back from our would-be landlords since last week. This is beginning to concern me. The younger guy seemed to be good with out opening offers, but who knows what the older guy is saying...
We might need to start re-looking for places. I really don't want to.

Still no job, but Jill DeVilliers wrote back to me. She hasn't got positions to hire for, but she still invites me to come and talk with her when I am in town. (Somewhat) Yay.
And yesterday one of the parents of a Hebrew School kid (the one who teaches at Brandeis too) said his sister works in Linguistics (2nd lang acc, I think), and he'll give me her email. Coolness. Tomorrow I shall go try to catch Wingfield again. I hear his lab got a big grant just now.

The play that I was having my 2nd graders do took place and went well this Sunday yesterday. I am so glad, because it was stressing me out this past week. Plus, running smoothly and in time, with happy performers, all these things are good in their own rights.
