Ha ha, when I read your comment the other day about reading Her Thirties, I went back to revisit it - ended up reading and re-editing 44 chapters - I was sitting in my front room with music softly playing in the background and reliving that same lucid dream. I'll be doing the same thing later tonight. Sorry for some of the formatting errors in the steemit copy but I was writing it as I posted - a chapter a day.

I was a curriculum dean in a high school - the closest I got to university teaching was being a Research Assistant for a Psychology Prof, but that gave me access to the staff lounges and the behind the scenes daily life of the university and in my case, the medical building at U of T. It came in handy when I wrote A Familiar Rain, a novel set on a university campus. As for missing the classroom and teaching experience, I just was out for breakfast today with my old staff - I left teaching 11 years ago in Jan 2008, and it seems they still consider me a friend - very humbling....
