CURRENT MISSION

Get to the midwest so as to miseducate the children of Chicago.

ABOUT ME

I'm a high school English teacher in Chicago who is a fool for love and a sucker for tears ... that is to say ... I'm a total softie.

I'm really just a regular guy ... but my friends would probably say I've always got a crush on someone, I love chocolate more than any pregnant woman, and I'm honest to a fault.

PHILOSOPHY

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
