Welcome in

I choose this title, math and a half, to keep out the mathphobes. You know the ones. You tell them you teach seventh grade math for a living and their immediate response is, "Ohmigosh. You have to teach area and stuff?! That must be hard!"

I have little sympathy.

Actually, that could be said about so many things; I guess I wouldn't say I'm a very sympathetic person. I live by the "too bad, so sad" rule. If part of your life is tough, you've got two choices: learn from it or change it. In most cases, that is easier said than done. Who said life was easy?

So, the photo I plan to post was taken in Australia in 2003. I hope I can figure that out technically. If I run into trouble, I will call upon the expertise of the funky brown chick. She's a friend of mine with an excellent, award-nominated blog. I aspire to such greatness. Little by little, I plan to learn how to blog. Lucky you who are getting in on the ground floor of such learning. You can come along for the ride. Welcome.
