She's fun to sit next to, as well.
Liz, Sra and I all haunt Glass Sorbet on occasion. Deborah rocks. I'll be there this Saturday for Libby Leu's class if you do want to make the drive and say hi for a little bit, check out the shop and get an idea of what a classroom in action looks like. I don't think Deborah would mind. Possibly meet your "local" fellow lamp workers. I bet a couple of the Houston hotties will be there. Like Liz said, she's in Sugar Land. I know the hotties are scattered around the area. Networking really is worth it.
