One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A bus station in Slovakia: Looking out in a bus window reverie, drifting to the eyes of a stranger on an adjacent bus, smiling, hooting in laughter, waving to each other as my bus pulls away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a pathological obsession with grammar, which I attempt to channel in teaching and editing.
