I’m in my 27th year of retirement from education and continue to reside in northwestern Ontario. My education career reflects the fact that my interests are many and quite varied. I have taught in elementary and secondary school, college, and university programs, served as a consultant in library and audio-visual services and computers in education, served as an Education Officer for the MOE and ended my career in secondary school administration.

I view myself as a storyteller and frequently share stories and encourage literacy whenever the opportunity arises. I encourage parents to tell stories to their children and to read with them with passion, daily. Make reading a habit.

This blog serves as an organizer for my thoughts on all the things in life and living that spur my interest and concerns. When free from the ‘must do’ parts of day-to-day activity, I choose to share my current interests in this space.

The fact that I have written sporadically is testimony to the fact that there is much in my life that is fulfilling. I have difficulty at the end of the day, sitting and writing about the last great adventure. Sleep is my adversary and frequently wins. My interests include family, church, scuba diving, cooking, techno-gadgetry, woodworking, filmography, and photography to name but a few.

At one time I thought I might like to travel in retirement. I have since discovered that I am most comfortable at home. Even so, much about life continues to interest me.  …GRB
