I am taking a sabbatical from teaching in CT, where I have taught high school English for 14 years and part-time college for 5 years. Over the past few summers I have done nerdy teacher things like take classes at the Folger Shakespeare Institute and Cambridge University. I have travelled to 30+ countries, been to 38 Springsteen concerts, and own 25 acres of land in Texas. I believe that social media and cell phones are destroying our ability to effectively communicate, and that reality TV quickly turns minds into useless blobs of goo. I am also well prepared for the coming Zombie Apocalypse.
