Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Career choices...

I'm so happy for my t that he's able to get back to doing what he loves and knows the most about, being a commodities broker. Why? We went to the college where I teach. As we walked across the campus, I said, "Now, this is me. This is where I'm supposed to be. I was made to teach at the collegiate level."

A few years ago, I started teaching classes online, because it was too difficult for me to stand in front of a classroom full of students to teach. It's also too hard to sit in a wheelchair to teach. I like to be towering over the students. I guess it shows authority; I'm in charge. Anyway, I miss teaching face-to-face classes. Yes, I'm still teaching; it's not the same. That's why I'm glad Bob is able to get back to what he loves doing.

My career is taking another turn. I get to be a commodities broker too. I will continue with my online teaching. I get to expand my horizons from logical/concrete information to abstract/guessing information. If you see me looking totally baffled, buy me a rtiff alcoholic beverage.
