Bio
Addled spew of a classical liberal pacifist freethinker born and raised in the south. A "never lived up to his potential" student who is now a high school teacher. A limited-in-stature skinny-as-a-rail nerd-o of 25 years. Of English/Welsh?/Cherokee?/African/dubious heritage. Massive sideburns (mutton or otherwise) are a man's best friend. No shaving here. Don't expect Billy Collins. Think of C.D. Wright after Billy Collins donated a smidgeon of his life-force to her. Then, of course, think of a guy. I use dashes and ellipsis...a lot - a lot. Oh, and the name... "Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people." ~ Carl Sagan

Oh, criminy, how many of these meetings have I sat through! My school system's motto used to be "Ahead of the Curve" but the irony was we were so far ahead of the curve we were biting ourselves in the ass. Now we've changed to "Gateway to the 21st Century," whatever that means. We're supposed to be adding "rigor and relevance, " yet last night the school board dumbed down the grading scale from a seven-point to a ten-point system.

You'd be fun to work across the hall from.

@ The Good Daughter: If I hear our superintendent say "21st Century" one more time, I'm going back to the 18th.
