One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, in elementary school, I saw a kid i knew from my class at Disney World while we were on Thanksgiving break. I had no idea he was going to be there (we both lived in Cleveland, Ohio). We were on the ride "It's a Small World." That was simply amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to get started brewing beer (most kinds except lagers).

Remembering the name of that one X-Files episode you loved when it aired a couple years ago on late night cable.

I can also write a pretty damn good lesson plan if that's what you're into.

I'd like to learn more about triathlons, specifically participating in them.

I'd also like to learn to make seitan because it's so delicious.
