Ooooofffffff...
I am taking the night off. I am so tired with all the running around getting used to and doing my new job and fitting it into my schedule and traveling all over southern and eastern Idaho that I need some down time.
Despite the exhaustion and the bags under my eyes, I had a lovely trip.
The competition I judged was lots of fun. The kids were great. I saw some fantastic work in both tech and performance, which gives me hope for the future. And I met some cool people and ran into not one, but two people from my past that were in completely unexpected places. 1) A former student of mine (from here) who, though he is supposed to be living in Cincinnati, called my name on a street corner in Boise on Thursday night. 2) My 8th and 9th grade science teacher who is now an assistant high school principal. He was at the competition I judged. I must admit I was not expecting to see a jr. high science teacher at a high school drama event.
And it was great to see my friends Karma and Cindy. We had some marvelous conversations, both in pairs and in an outrageous trio that was a wonderful complement to the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. And the bread pudding? Yum. If you happen to find yourself in Dietrich, Idaho, eat at the Eagle's Nest. I insist. You won't be sorry.
Also, there's a new Indian restaurant in Boise that I highly recommend. I think it's called the Bombay Grill. Whatever the name, it's on the first floor of the Idanha and the food ROCKS. I haven't had Indian in years, and this is great stuff. Sooooooooooo good.
How nice to have great girl talk and phenomenal food. I must return to both places and soon.
