They were all big! But I was much too shy and lacked sufficent self confidence to let anyone know at the time. As for inspiring teachers, that's easy. Mrs. McFarlane. She was one of the few that inspired me to be a better person even though I occasionally acted like an idiot in her classroom. I can't recall a time she ever treated me unkindly though. She was patient and she cared for all of her students. I never forgot her. I also enjoyed Mrs Dechow (now Mrs Ross), and Mr Lindsay. He was a good football coach but a much better teacher. I don't think he ever got credit for such. I got to see Mrs Ross a couple of years ago and was able to tell her how much I admired her. I also think fondly of Mrs. Carter and how she taught me that one needs to have more than some nat...Expand for more
ural ability to master a foreign language. She forced me to apply myself in developing a talent I didn't realize I had until much later in life. I also enjoyed Mrs Thomas, Miss Bayes, Mrs. Overstreet and any other teacher that taught English or Literature as well. I think Mr. Svec was a great guy too although I never had him as a teacher. He was often a stage manager of the plays put on at the school. What a character! Craziest school memory? Graduation Day and Karen Inman giving Mr. Hale a "soul handshake" while accepting her diploma. A few people knew that she was also pressing into his palm a sticker which read "BS" (or something of that nature). I think he got a kick out of it. Funniest person? Dave Moore. Would I do it all over again? No way! :) I think back fondly of those days and occasionally miss some of the people I was closest with. But, go back in time and re-live them? No thanks! One adolescence should be enough for anyone. College B.S. Psychology, Brigham Young University, 1980 M.Ed. Counseling and Guidance, BYU, 1981 Korean Studies, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea 1984 Workplace I could tell you where I work and what I do, but then I'd have to kill you. Actually, I'd end up boring you to death. I like how Hollywood depicts my employer in the movies. If they only knew that the Agency is full of nerds, geeks, and introverts. A lot of smart people who serve their country. But, that doesn't sell many movie tickets.

My brother Vic texted this to me.   He is seriously warped.  Glad there was little if any damage.

Me after having a growth removed from my lower lip this morning.  No, Julie didn't punch me even though I may have deserved it.  Better this than jeans falling down around your ankles, huh?

This is what happens if you talk back to your wife.  Actually, just me after having a small growth removed.  Now for chemo which makes this procedure a walk in the park.
