This blog began (at a different location) as fulfillment of a requirement of the Mississippi Teacher Corps. While intermittently posting, I taught for a year in a rural town with no traffic lights, moved to Jackson and an “inner-city” school, finished the MTC program and stuck around to teach a third year.

Then I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to study Eastern Classics (& Sanskrit) at my alma mater, and earned the second M.A. that I don’t intend to use toward anything practical.

Now I’m teaching again, math instead of English, and in the desert Southwest instead of the muggy South.
