About Me

Describe Yourself:Until this year I've been teaching science and math. I got very interested in the extraordinary, not-generally-appreciated scale of the world about 15 years ago, which led to a general interest in the wondrous nature of the world (including the one who seeing it), which eventually led to a book for kids (and adults who feel like kids when it comes to understanding the world): "Seeing the World with a Sense of Wonder: Ideas and Activities from Science and the Art for Children from Nine to Ninety-Nine.
Lately I've been working on fixing my house (including some major problems like a leak in the water line and the need for a new roof). But also fidning time, in my (possibly temporary) retirement to work on my watercolor sketching (see my photos). -
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:Anybody who has a lively interest in trying to understand the world more deeply, from any point view, whether it be spritual, scientific, artistic ... I'm not fussy! I remember hearing a quote from Richard Feynman saying to the effect that he was interested in anybody who had good questions to ask about the world, who was as interested in things as he was. I can't claim to have the kind of unstoppable interest in things that Feynman had, but it certainly a worthwhile goal!

Michelle Morrissey, Mar 13, 2009, 8:29AM EDTI have just logged on from a long social networking reprieve and found your request - your request was interesting enough, but upon further investigation (your profile here, your website, and I wish your book which is not available through Chapters-Indigo), YOU are quite interesting.
I, too, am of the curious ilk and sometimes hesitate at answering the question, "What are you interested in?" with an enthusiastic, but awkward giggle, "Everything!" People don't believe me...
Happy to make your acquaintance.
AND happy belated 63rd!

I'm so glad you liked it and you're right! Glad to be your friend.

Jennifer F., Oct 10, 2008, 12:13AM EDTThank you so much for the friend request, Peter and the kind words too. I got my rooster accidently - I live in the city so I was hoping he would be a quiet "she" -- but I love him anyways.
