Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
Saw a mama grizzly and her cub in Yellowstone Park, just walking across the road in late October. Picked up a (male) hitchhiker...in the U.S., that is just not done by women traveling alone, but it was January and I thought he might freeze to death. I'm still alive to tell the tale.
Ensinar, Aprender, Compartilhar
I'm an English teacher...can proofread, edit, give gentle critiques of poetry and prose; answer grammar questions if "American rules" are OK!
Meus Interesses
Writing (fiction, poetry, memoir); movies; scuba diving; cooking (and eating)
