Please think Pleasant positive thoughts for me... as Thursday morning I have an online interview for a university position teaching Acting for the Camera, Oral Interpretation of Literature & Intro to Theatre Arts.
I'll tell you, I think the dice might be rolling my way again. Divorce/Oklahoma Nightmare 3 years ago. Worked my voice back into performance shape 2 years ago. Got (and really enjoyed) the Santa Anita teller job 2 years ago. Discovered my daughter and two grandsons a year and a half ago. Lost the entirety of last year to quarantine and Covid-19 restrictions. And now... the very real possibility of a one year teaching opportunity.
It will mean another year away from Stephanie and the kids. I asked how she felt about me being away and here's what she said:
"That's sad and happy news, but I'd never want you to give it up...and who knows, maybe we can come and visit you in that year. I believe that you should always try and do your best, and I think this would be an opportunity to do your best. It's time to start your new life. Your new family will be supporting you the whole way. Just because you'll be away for a year doesn't mean that we'll just stop being father and daughter. You're stuck with me now, old man😁. I say GO FOR IT!!!"
Isn't she wonderful?
So, it's a 50/50 proposition.
I'll either get the position or not. I'm excited about the opportunity and I'm betting that I get the job!
LIFE...
changing from Black&White to COLOR. |

Will keep positive thoughts for your interview..... you will not be away for a year as you are always with them in spirit and heart....
Plus the internet has made it possible to be there through online chatting... just a click away.....
As Stephanie said..... Go for it !!!

Good luck, Dell. Hope you knock their socks off.
Where is this teaching position? Assuming out of state?

Best of Luck to you, and really hope you get the position.
I enjoyed the photos (and the story) - my favorite is the black and white photo.
Of the three, that one just stands out.
Sometimes black and white photography doesn't really add anything, but this one was perfect!

With your experience and your personality - it's a done deal. I don't think they can pass you up on this one.
