I doubt I'm any more likely to draw my last breath while traveling in China than when I'm muddling through life here. But getting ready for a major trip compels us to get our affairs in order. For the first time in many years, I replaced my license plate well before the deadline. And Joe and I finally got around to updating our wills-- something we haven't done for thirty years or so.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.

For the first time in many years, I replaced my license plate well before the deadline. And Joe and I finally got around to updating our wills-- something we haven't done for thirty years or so.
