Happily single school teacher, nearly 40 years in the same great town. I enjoyed the stumbling about career-wise before finding my calling with elementary ed. That stumbling included driving tanks, working in a couple factory jobs, getting two degrees in mechanical engineering before realizing it wasn't for me, coordinating the mobile program for a state motorcycle safety program, along with plenty of other stuff that didn't seem too weird at the time, but sure seem to surprise people when I tell them about it now.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

For most of those adventures listed above, I've never had an excess of money. It's nice to do some karmic payback for generosity shown me over the years.

兴趣

Big climate change believer (seeing the changes in my gardens over 30 years, it's hard not to be a believer), and I like to do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint. 31 solar panels, main transportation is Nissan Leaf, etc.

While I'm trying to leave a decent planet behind, I'm also in the planet and folks who came before, which is why the history piece.

Aviation is just cool!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Running from Marathon to Athens, Greece on my 60th birthday. Now, the run in Greece doesn't seem so amazing to me, but getting to my 60th did.
