Do you like to do stuff outside? I do! Camping, hiking, fishing, skydiving, kayaking, paddleboarding, off-roading. If you are into a sport I don't know how to do, will you teach me? I like to soak up the sun and marvel at the gorgeousness of the California scenery (though I almost never remember to take a picture). I also like to going to concerts and attending live sporting events. I look great in your team's jersey, but also like to wear my team's jersey (your rival) and give you a hard time when we win ;)

I'm a teacher. I'm one of those crazy ones, that talks with my hands and stands on the desks and kids show up before and after class to ask questions about stuff I don't teach. Teaching is about telling a good story, one they'll remember. I hope they'll remember my stories.

I have the Zen of Parking. I envision the parking spot I want, focus on it on the drive over, and when I arrive, it's usually open. My friends are always freaked out by this trick, it only works at places I've been before, but it works even when it's really busy.

I'm shorter than you. No, really.

How many days until summer vacation. It's what every teacher thinks as soon as Winter Break is over.

And, can I put cheese on that?

Now that it's warm out, I'm poolside. This teacher walks out the door with the students on Fridays. TGIF!!!

I can't dance. At all. I can't find the beat to save my life.

You can teach me a new sport or want to do something fun outside. You like to watch the game with someone who will drink beer and eat nachos or drink wine and brie, I'm flexible.

You think you can beat me in a round of WWF.

You know what ISCA BBS was.
