On Tuesday we had my friend Presley over, along with his fiancée, Mary. Presley just completed his MA in TESOL from UT Arlington. Though Mary’s from Singapore, he met her in Vietnam, where he was teaching English at a Vietnamese university. They brought a game Amy and I had never played (Sequence) and beat us twice. (It’s a great game, in spite of my skills.)

Also this week . . . It was Field Days at Nancy Jane Cochran Elementary School from Tuesday to Friday (Monday was Memorial Day), and Amy helped with the activities all day every day (and got a black T-Shirt — black? — as part of the deal).

Well, that’s all the news. Amy finishes teaching on Wednesday and after a Thursday workday will be joining me on summer vacation.
