About Me
Just the facts, perhaps

There's an interesting redundancy present when one finds an "About" tab on a website devoted to showcasing the skills of a particular person.

I grew up in central Orange County, California and moved to the South County (we really do capitalize it) early in my teaching career. My wife of 34 years is a seamstress/gardener/home improvement enthusiast. We have three married children, scattered across the continental USA, but frequently in contact with Mom and Dad thanks to various technologies

Security for our home is provided by a ferocious-sounding, but sweet-hearted Labrador mix, backed up by a sweet-hearted and mostly silent German Shorthaired Pointer.

It is almost impossible for me to tire of enjoying a strong conversation, consuming Mexican food, reading a good magazine article or helping out some way in my church community.

I like donuts more than I should, which is not the same as saying that I eat them more than I should. Discipline is a virtue that I consistently work at exercising (and exercising is a discipline that I hold as a virtue).
