First off, I am nowhere near the writer of my wife. So, if for some odd reason you choose to read my blog; I don’t want you mocking my lack of writing skills. What am I good at? Well I’m a Physical Education Teacher. That is a “gym” teacher for the rest of you.

First off, I am nowhere near the writer of my wife. So, if for some odd reason you choose to read my blog; I don’t want you mocking my lack of writing skills. What am I good at? Well I’m a Physical Education Teacher. That is a “gym” teacher for the rest of you. That’s what I enjoy doing. I always loved running around as a kid. My parents never even had cable television until after I was in college. So what else were three boys going to do with themselves? Play. Play and Play some more. I think my mom wanted at least one girl but unfortunately for her that didn’t happen. My poor mother. I mean she’s got to be worried about getting older. It’s pretty much a fact that girl’s take better care of their parents when they are older. Why wouldn’t they? I have two daughters Emma who is four, and Esther is Two. Emma’s already told me that I can live with her and her husband when I’m older. They are constantly changing their babies diapers, taking them for stroller rides, etc. We never did that. Well…. I have to admit I had a weak moment as a kid that my two older brothers will never let me forget. I think it was those commercials. They were so convincing. One Christmas all I wanted was a cabbage patch kid and a cabbage patch kid I got. So maybe I do have more nurturing in me than I thought. Where was I? Oh yes, gym teacher. I have the best job in the world. I get to instruct my students in team sports, individual sports and lifetime fitness. My favorite are the individual sports where I usually get the upper hand of those high school boys in badminton and table tennis. My blog is about…? We’ll see. My wife can be real convincing, like when she wanted those raised beds. I can tell you this. I won’t be talking much about gardening. Instead I think my every day life can be humorous, entertaining, and many times humbling. I hope some of you will find something in common with me. Talk to you soon. ~Tom
