ABOUT ME

I am perpetually in exploratory mode; whether traveling or other life's pursuits. A lifelong student!! Travel is essential for this. Here at home I also do a fair amount pet/house sitting. I used to teach elementary special education in an inner-city school and I coached/ran an after school program focused on soccer (football) for fourth, fifth and sixth graders at the same school.

音乐、电影和书籍

Love most genres of music and have an extensive collection of music. Live music is great! Live Jazz or Malian music in person can be an amazing exchange. Music is the best!
Like all kinds of film; preferably something meaningful. A large budget does not mean a quality/meaningful film. But some times the big budget is candy for the mind. Some favorites on the meaningful end include "Wings of Desire, Amelie, The Motorcycle Diaries, Y Tu Mama Tambien to name a few but there is so many more!!!!
