Okay, you can't leave me hanging...what quirky thing did you learn about yourself?

I was a teacher, so I can identify with your nerves. Were you an English as a Second Language teacher? I was with Spanish and the Croatians.

I'm not sure how the silence was corrosive.

You had good rhythm and I didn't have to say any of the lines twice to make them fit! lol

You gave good imagery and a good feel of your emotions and the students as well.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Thanks for sharing with us.
love, LinnAnn
