Gauthic Times #85 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Wake Me When Sept–Ah, Forget It. I Have Covid

Hello, friends. Five years. I was careful. I masked. My doctor suggested that I may not need a mask right now, though soon. One week of school and I have Covid. I wish I was surprised. I started feeling bad yesterday (Friday as I write this) and took a test this morning. My family and […]

Gauthic Times #84 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or 47 Rotations

Hello, friends! This week saw me returning to school for year eighteen. I had two PD days and started to get my stuff set up in the new classroom. I won’t be teaching in the room but will be there in the mornings and afternoons, stopping in for prep periods, etc. Before the PD days, […]

Gauthic Times #83 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Slipping Back to Reality

Another crazy/busy summer week in the books. Next week I begin the process of returning to reality with two professional development days before the big return back to teaching. G’s basketball team won their championship and she’d very excited about that. My older daughter also had some cool stuff happening and cross your fingers it […]

Gauthic Times #82 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or End of the Line (Edits)…and More to Come

Hello, friends. This summer has been one crazy week after another. I can’t say that I’ve entirely been fond of how busy I’ve been outside of the writing/creative stuff. And now I have one full week of summer vacation left and still so much to do. While there wasn’t as much done this week as […]

Gauthic Times #81 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Storm Clouds in the Heat

Hello, friends. This past week felt pretty crazy. G had a summer drama camp, the play of which was on Friday, and there were other things going on, too, which made for a particularly stressful first half of the week. Between G’s basketball, guitar lessons, the drama camp, and things going on with the adults, […]

Gauthic Times #80 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Last Gasps or There’s Still So Much to Do!

Hello, friends. The subtitle of this post seems so drastic, so dramatic, so scary! I can read your mind thinking, Is he all right? Is he sick?! Have his hemorrhoids finally won?!? Sorry about that last one. No I’m not. But the title refers not to me but rather to summer vacation. This will be […]

Gauthic Times #79 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or NoCon Weekend & Everything’s Fine

Hello, friends. Part of the title of this update is, of course, referencing the famous meme with the dog sitting in the burning house, saying, “Everything’s fine,” because that’s what it feels like. I have some Thoughts and I’m not sure I should share them. I probably will eventually because I feel like I must […]

Gauthic Times #78 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Signing of the Times

Hello, friends! What a week! The world is a huge, raging dumpster fire, we knew that, but apparently there’s stuff that can explode inside the dumpster, too, and–damn!–we’re in trouble. That said, let’s do what we always do and ignore it and move on. In my world, the week was stressful and pretty good. Let’s […]

Gauthic Times #77 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Born in the U.S.A.

Hello, friends. Another busy week here in Gautham. Writing, art, shmoozing, and getting the ol’ heart broken one news story at a time. This coming week looks to be pretty crazy, too. The Fourth of July was a bittersweet one, wasn’t it? I’ve never really been a fan. I’m not a flag-waving type. I think […]

Gauthic Times #76 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Signings & File Sizes

Hello, friends! What a busy week it’s been! G had a week of a half-day summer camp at the local private school. This past week was fencing, which she fell in love with. I may need to sell plasma in order for her to continue with it. There were also two basketball games, doctors’ appointments […]
