About Me
- Pizza Ed
- I spent the first 38 years of my life in New Jersey; it was a good place to grow up and learn how to survive. I participate in full-contact sarcasm, a quaint Jersey custom. I have been published as you can see on the blog. I have a wonderful and patient wife named Toni who has put up with me since the summer of 1964 when we met; we have a daughter Mary-Alice and a son Kenny and three road-orphaned cats. The dog died. I love the laughter of children, woodsmoke in the cold seasons, and pizza. I detest elitists, self-righteous people who want to tell others how to live, PC, and those who take themselves too seriously. As for teaching, it was a good 36 years, and I will miss the youthful faces that I've looked at for the past four decades, but there's a time when all good things must end and this is the time for me. If I never had the privilege of teaching you, let me pass on something for you to keep in mind, something an excellent teacher once shared with me: "Choices have consequences, so make wise choices." My favorite quote? "I'd rather be a 'has-been' than a 'coulda-been' who became a 'never-was.'" - Satchel Paige

I said that to my mom once...I think I was 16 or 17. She didn't take it well. Behehehehe.
Yeah, that would have been you in those days!
Heh, my dad used to love that little adage. Granted, I'm quite sure you knew that, since "Wild Bill" always did have a way with the words! :)
