I teach English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at a community college. My students actually appreciate me and they want to learn. I will never teach Americans, or at least not any younger than 40. (So by that criteria, I'm ineligible to teach myself. Hmmmm.)
I am a UNC grad and a huge Tar Heels fan. This is me (circa 1988) in my usual football Saturday attire. (I'm the lunatic on the right.)
I never want to live in a house younger than I am.
I read all the time.
I'm 5' 6", weigh 135 pounds, and played defensive end for my high school football team. (Don't be too impressed--it was a really small school.)
I never kill spiders or crickets in the house. I catch them and put them outside.
Whenever I put gas in my car, I reset the trip odometer and mentally calculate my gas mileage. I have no idea why I do this.
People say that I have the same personality as my cat, Andy. (I don't think they mean it as a compliment!)

I am glad you participated in the Meme. It is fun to see people as they see themselves and get to know them. Andy looks adorable. I thought you wrote well it is that "teacher" in you, can't help yourself can you. :)
Thanks for participating in the meme. It's interesting and enjoyable to find out more about the people behind the blog.
It's nice to know you better, David. I work at a community college, also, in a program for CCE, so I'm in touch with the older crowd also.
