| Introduction | Welcome. I am a teacher and writer living in the Hudson Valley, NY. Originally from Staten Island, I have learned to live with ersatz pizza and bagels. Sacrifices must be made for love and raising children in greener pastures. (Still return to SI for Joe and Pats pizza on occasion, though.) I teach at Lagrange Middle School. A former scholarship athlete, I now spend my time dreaming of London, rooting for the Mets and tossing golf clubs into ponds. |
