Welcome to my World


About me
Hello, c'mon in. I'm really very happy to be here in Fortune City. It's incredibly exciting to finally get my own place on the Net. I know it's not much now to look at, but I'm planning to fix it up real nice as soon as I get the chance. Most of my time is spent either exposing newcomers to contemporary American culture (I'm a ESL* teacher) or trying to counterbalance the effects of it on me with large doses of intellectual stimulation, moral fiber, & sheer beauty. These are also the things, along with a lively wit, that I hope to develop in my new Web home.

*English as a Second Language
What I'm interested in:
  • Teaching
    Best Question of the Week: "What's the difference between a chick flick & a girlie movie?"-- from a Japanese housewife
  • Movies
    'Cold Comfort Farm'--Green Acres meets Wuthering Heights 'Shall We Dance'--a terrific Japanese comedy about ballroom dancing 'Persuasion'--the least publicized but but best recent Austen adaptation
  • Jane Austen
    "Jane Austen can in fact get more drama out of morality than most other writers can get from shipwreck, battle, murder or mayhem." -- Ronald Blythe
