a Parent of an Elementary School Student
Welcome to my web site. Thanks for dropping by. I’m sorry I don’t
have a funnier greeting. If you call my house and get my answering machine,
I do a funny bit about playing Phone Tag. (I used to sing and tell knock-knock
jokes on it but my family made me change it. I guess I was embarrassing
them.) As it is, all you get is this ordinary - but heartfelt - welcome.
Enjoy. Take your time looking around. I’ll just be over in my office,
writing.
