One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was watching an outdoor mime show in Mexico City, when the "mime" suddenly started shouting "Woody!". I look a lot like the Toy Story character. I spent the next 20 minutes on stage as part of this guy's impromptu comedy show, and later caught a ride with the mime through town. I promised I'd pitch their act, "The Famous Mimes of Coyocan"! Now I've fulfilled my duty.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm an English teacher. I can repair a double-hung window. I've been living in a co-op for the last 18 months, so I can definitely facilitate a meeting.
