Conversation between Theresa and Glen at All-Vol (mid-April):
Glen: So I’ve got this project for you when you come up. You can work with Jason and stuff.
Theresa: Okay, since I’m coming up anyway, but I wanna hit up Ly and Tara on my way over to the other side of the country
Glen: No problem! It’s just a website! And Jason’ll be teaching everyone how to maintain it. Just a couple of days!

Glen: Dude, don’t’ worry about it. You’ll get to Gogonou in time.
Theresa: Yeah, but I actually have to teach these people something.

Jason: Does too!

Jason: Does too!
Theresa: Does not!
Jason: You wanna fight?
A week in the Tang. Teaching web design (okay, basic (x)HTML and CSS) to a group of incredibly motivated people. Hanging out with Glen. Squabbling with Jason. Recovering from the sensory overload of the last couple of conference-filled weeks. I’m actually have a fantastic time right now, and that’s a pretty welcome change.
