Hello Old Friends!

I thought that I would check in because aside from lurking a little bit in the political forum, I haven't been an active participant for a while and definitely haven't talked at all about myself for a long long time. That feels kind of unfair to me because I am also happy to see so many people still kicking it around in this funny little community.

I guess the short version is that I got married to another high school English teacher in 2011 and we are expecting a baby in 2014. I'm still teaching, but after seven years in Chicago Public Schools, I am now in my second year in the suburbs. I went and got a masters degree and state certification in educational technology and I try to stay active in that community in Illinois. I'm still a pretty political guy, but almost all of the energy I have is dedicated to educational policy and our awful mayor, so I don't get around to the soapbox much.

Aside from that, I miss a bunch of you and I hope everything is awesome!

I bet it is real tough to teach in these Chicago Public Schools today with the incidence of crime all over place.You are lucky you are out of there.

Good to hear from you. I miss you from the days when this place was a lot more incendiary political wise. Sounds like you actually took your beliefs to the level of doing something about it. Good for you. Keep on trucking.

And congratulations on a baby coming. Nothing like a baby in one's life to remind one that life can be a grand thing.
