Welcome to my corner of the galaxy. For three decades, I have stood before a classroom, trying to make sense of history, literature, and the human condition. Now, in my retirement, I find myself doing the same thing here—sharing stories, offering lessons, and tending to the digital garden that has become my new classroom.
Life, much like teaching, is a series of lessons learned the hard way. I invite you to read about my "First Slip," a mistake that shaped the rest of my career. I also hope you will find joy in my writings on gardening, hiking, and the quiet beauty of a well-planned day.
Thank you for visiting. May your own path be filled with discovery, growth, and the occasional well-earned mistake.
