Maps, Teaching

1. Montana has switched places with Oregon on the map and no one told me. I am upset and then excited because this means I can finally visit Charlie (in Montana) and Al (in L.A.) on the same day. I decide it would be best if they both fly to NYC first and we leave for our journey from my house.

2. I am teaching a creative writing workshop at a fitness club. I give an assignment at the beginning of a thirty-minute cardio session (that someone else teaches) and then I pick up the work at the end (one guy leaves and does the assignment in his car). It's a great, high-paying job, but I find out that I am forbidden to wear shorts or roller blades, even when off-duty, for the rest of my life.
