About Me
- About Me: I am forty plus and a lover of life. I love reading, Starbuck's in moderation, traveling, lazy Sunday afternoons, and God. I enjoy my work, mostly. I teach high school students. My subject area is English, but I secretly hope that I teach more than that, you know that I am a teacher of life. I really have too much experience at it (life). One of my pet peeves is random pronouns. Could you tell?
