Hahahaha. I'm from Chicago. There was nothing to do there but read and listen to NPR so I went to a stupid great books program and made some bad friends. After getting kicked out I decided to study science and worked in tumor suppressors for a year after graduation. The last twenty years I have teaching English. Go figure. And what am I doing here? I came here to learn about mining last November and ended up mining my heart for the last 4 months. There are a few people on the platform who think but if you stay on it long enough you will just have a headache. I have a few writers I like and visit them and write about what I'm thinking or what I am doing.

So... what are you doing here?

Oh and I prefer reading Dostoevsky to Tolstoy. No offence.
