I'm a jock geek with a hammer and a saw. Learning and teaching are my avocation while I make things, break things, fix things, re-evaluate, deconstruct, repurpose, and recycle things, I tie things down, rig the pully to hoist 'm up, inflate the cushion when they drop, concoct remedies to sooth the pain, I love to laugh, it heals the soul. Have no fear the jokes and stories I tell will be filled with pathos to make you cry, and if I tell the ending right, you'll be first in line for the sequel…
