One of my bucket list items now is to someday watch the second half as well... not six times, just once, thank you very much :-D When I'm not subbing or tutoring, I enjoy reading mysteries, psychological thrillers, fantasy/sci fi, and young adult fiction.

...and photographer as well. I've made two documentary films and published fiction and poetry, and traveled to over thirty countries on five continents, so I have a lot of life experience that I bring with me to tutoring.
