Dear Guy who was blocking the entire cheeses in the grocery store with your cart whilst you leisurely deliberated over each and every package of pre-sliced Swiss squares

You would never block the cheese, and I'm fucking thrilled to see you!

dab, I must say I've been entertained and impressed by your blogging over the years. You are a fave. What are you doing for work these days? Your kid must be in college by now...

[dabroots]

Hey, it hasn't been all that long. My son is in 9th grade.

I'm teaching English Comp at two colleges here in Pittsburgh. I've been living here for about 2 1/2 years.

Your job seems to change a lot, but you are a consistent and interesting blogger. I appreciate that. I thought you were doing something in publishing for a while, though. Am I trippin?

[dabroots]

I was doing something in publishing from 1996 until 2004 and again for a short while in 2007, and then I moved to Pittsburgh on THE FOURTH OF JULY in 2007 and have since been teaching and a smattering of other things, but mostly teaching.

How do u like teaching?

[dabroots]

It's grown on me, and it's a hell of a lot better than sitting in a tiny office for eight to ten hours a day, five days a week. Besides that, it means that for about fifteen hours a week, there are a total of about eighty people who sit in various classrooms and forced to listen to me.

A+

And I just now looked back at your posts from over the past six years--all twelve or so of them. In 2005, you were working for a design group. Are you still working for them? Also in 2005, you got married. How is that going?

[poopalicious]

Still married! Still designing! Had a behbeh! <3

You had a kid? Wow! As my son asked me when he was about five, "Do babies come out of the moms' butts?" So . . .?

[poopalicious]

yeah, and apparently he's no fan of Mr. T
