Three Beautiful Things 01/26/08: Deke's Employed!, Iron Pleasure, Dylan Man Crush

1. This beautiful thing is sort of a 26-27 overlap: Debbie got a job at Edison Elementary. It's a .4 position doing library/reading programs. She'll start as soon as the state of Oregon licenses her. We hope that's soon. It being .4, the Deke will have plenty of time to sub and her mentor teacher at Edison, who is retiring at the end of this school year, plans to need a sub often. It means the Deke will get more experience in the classroom as she works toward securing a full time position.

2. Every Saturday evening I actually wonder if I want to go out and do anything. Why? XM Radio's Deep Tracks channel plays In a Gadda da Vida every Saturday night at 8:00 PST and it's become a source of odd reassuring pleasure and joy for me to listen, each Saturday evening, to this masterpiece in its entirety.

3. I loved reading this interview with Bob Dylan published just prior to the release of his album "Modern Times".
