Thanks to York 6 for taking my survey!

Since I am asking all of you to take this survey for me, I thought that it would only be fair if I took it too, giving all of you a chance to get to know me a little better. Here are a few of the highlights:

Learning Styles:

I scored high as a Mathematical/Logical thinker (good thing I’m in a math class!) because I answered “Absolutely!” to statements like “I really like math” and “I often wonder about how things work.”

I ALSO scored high as a Visual/Spatial learner (Did you know that I have a degree in Sculpture from the Massachusetts College of Art?) because I answered “Absolutely!” to statements like “I can pretend I am in the sky looking down on my house and know where everything is” and “I am good at drawing or making things with clay."

Musical learning showed as a weakness for me because I responded "No Way!" to comments like, "People tell me that I sing well." (I may not sing well, but I am learning to play the guitar--so far I can play Jingle Bells...and that's about it)

My House

I live in an apartment in Portland (Ms. Anderson is my neighbor) with my wife and our two cats, Yttik (can you guess how we came up with that name?) and Nubs (who has no tail and no teeth!).

Three things I love to do:

Read!

Build sculptures, furniture and fix things

Draw goofy pictures

Three things that I hate to do (but usually do anyway):

Wake up early

Wash dishes

Eat olives (I try never to eat these – YUK!)

Interesting (or maybe just weird) Facts about Me:

I haven’t worn matching socks in over ten years.

I grew up in Massachusetts, near Worcester, and I’ve lived in Boston, MA; San Francisco, CA; and Portland.

I’ve traveled to Canada, England, Iceland (and I’m going to Mexico over February Vacation!) and I’ve driven across the US twice.

When I lived in California, my friend and I wrote silly plays and performed them on the sidewalk in front of Robin Williams' house -- he even came out on his balcony once to watch!

My wife and I are thinking about teaching in a different country next school year. Where do you think we should go?

Thanks again for taking my survey and checking out my blog! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all over the next few months.

Welcome to my blog!

It's the bloggiest.
