We drove 23 hours strait a few nights ago, getting back into town right about 10 or 11pm. The time up in Canada was great but it's nice to be home. Did some major house cleanup, went and got my Colorado driver's license stuff taken care of, and a got a bit more work done on our Burning Man structure.
My parents got into town Thursday with a trailer loaded down with my things. Don't really have a place to put it all so it remains stacked against the wall in the basement for now. Been great spending time with them riding bikes and what-not. Josh and Dad went to climb the 3rd Flatiron this morning. I opted out due to the still healing shoulder injury. Would have been nice to go but I'm trying to take care of myself.
The biggest news of all though is the job interview I'm heading off to today. I finally got a callback from the family I found on craigslist who was in search of a homeschool teacher for their two gifted children. I did a phone interview a few days ago and am meeting them today in a few hours for an in person interview. From what they've told me about the position it seems like a dream job and I'm very excited and very nervous.
I think I'm a perfect candidate for their program. I have tons of experience doing the type of one on one work that that the job requires. I'm passionate about math and science and enjoy teaching it. I'm good at explaining things in alternate ways using language and terms that are accessible.
Toot toot goes my own horn I guess but I really do think that I'm the right person for this position and I hope they feel that way too.

Canada
I've been in Canada for a bit over a week. On the first day of what is likely going to be a rest week.
Yesterday was awesome. New highpoint for Trad-Lead with my first 5.10c redpoint. Climbed most of the day with a guy from Sweden and some people from Southern California climbing at the Smoke Bluffs in Squamish. Once the day got hot, we threw on some swim gear and headed to a local lake with a 60 food cliff jump into the water.
Turns out that was an excellent way to pull my shoulder back out of socket. This was the first time it didn't pop back in on it's own, so my new Swedish and Cali friends got to put their first shoulder back into place. The grinding sound was really disturbing. Need a few days off now to get back to normal, and probably need to look into some rehabilitation since this makes two times within a few weeks that my shoulder has left the socket.
I'll be back in Colorado by the 21st to meet up with my parents who are coming up to visit. Looking forward to having family around and getting to ride bikes around town with them.
