This year we will be taking role-playing to the next level. We'll perform not only through live, in class drama but also through social networks. Everything in Latin, of course.

Summer 2013: Craig a finalist for workers' comp insurance job in SF. Don a finalist for IT architect job at #University of Oklahoma (my alma mater).
We'll take the first one offered, but can an Okie-born gay liberal not go crazy back in deep-red OK? Cheap real estate was a tease, though.
Craig flies to CA for interviews, he uses address of a friend in #Alameda to appear local.
We both go to #NormanOklahoma for interviews....
