What you want to do in the next five years:

I would like to expand my teaching horizons by developing some tasty new classes with colleagues in other departments.  I would also like to do some hobby farming and maybe subscribe to Backyard Poultry magazine.

Best place to kill an hour on the TRCC campus:

Can you kill time? Does time have a life of its own?  Isn't it like space?  You can't "kill" either one; you can only accept them as arbitrary constructs within which human beings define their existence.

Most valuable tips for writers:

You need to do some thinking before you do some writing; if you don't think well, it is hard to write well.  If you think about something consistently and in a focused manner, it will make writing about it a lot easier.  It is really tough to just start writing a coherent paper if you just read the question or writing prompt and go.  THINK…then write….

I’d also like to add….

How about that Brett Favre?
