"The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."

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
