I WAS a professor until I was forced into retirement by a move and age discrimination, I think. We are opposites, though; I always excelled at writing and numbers made my eyes cross. My masters degree is in teaching with a concentration in English. I was always a thinker, too, and I've kept a diary since I was 11--pity my poor children having to get rid of those. I love writing instead of teaching others how, but I miss teaching. Good to meet you.
