I want to see that comic strip not_nadine - sounds very chic!
A nun - you and staropeace and with Owenk as Pope - I love it!

I can't recall ever wanting to be anything in particular - I just kind of floated along, doing whatever. Maybe a professional reader. Oh, wait! - I do remember wanting to interview people - I loved watching The Mike Douglas Show - I wanted to have a show like that, but in my mind my life would always be more fascinating than the people I would interview. I remember the summer I turned 11 - I was growing broccoli, and I would have conversations in my head with famous people where they'd be telling me all about their blah blah blah, and I'd top that with my adventures in riding my bike to my mom's friend's house to check on my broccoli. Seriously. I think I might have been the weirdest kid I've ever known.

I always was rounding up the neighborhood kids in the backyard and playing school. No one questioned that I was the teacher; they just did what I said, and I liked it. I have always loved school--was just cut out for it. So now I've been teaching for 29 years.

My senior year in high school I was the newspaper editor, so when I started college, my major was journalism, but I changed after a year to teaching. Have had a great career and still love teaching today, but to imagine me as a teacher, throw out everything you know about most of the teachers you had, because I'm not like that.
