WELCOME....HOPEFULLY IT'S A WILD RIDE!!

Hello, and welcome. Thanks for checking in. I hope this proves to be as interesting, entertaining, and even informative as I dream it will!

As a teacher and a writer and I am going to work very hard to bring insight (and maybe even some humour) into my experience in Vancouver. Having said that, please do not hold me to the very high standards of grammar and spelling that I hold my students to (this goes especially for my students!).

Most posts will be written in the late hours of the evening as I complete my day of volunteering. I will not have the benefit of the many sets of eyes editing and revising for me, as I expect when my students hand something in to me. Please excuse this little oversight, and I hope you will enjoy tagging along with me over this next week as much as I am going to enjoy experiencing it, writing about it, and hopefully documenting it with as many videos and pictures as I can get up!.

I encourage everyone to ask questions and find out more if they desire. I will do my best to include interesting links should you want to know more. Of course, you can also send me comments through this site, or hold on to them for when I get back. In any event, I encourage all to get as involved as they see fit, but most importantly, to enjoy what they do, as much as I enjoy what I do.

Take care, and thank you for reading.

Below is a little story on how this all got started, and if you're not bored silly, I hope you will return in the coming days as I begin my adventure on Sunday!
