About Me

My photo
One might think that the very young are quite different than older folks. I propose that we are all the same in one major way... We love a good story, and the best stories come from real life. History is full of tantalizing, sorrowful, tragic, and wonderful stories. Most exciting of all is the fact that we are all writing our own stories at this very moment. The choices we make will affect others' stories, and in no time at all, we become the stories that will be told in the future. I have had the opportunity to travel the tiniest bit, and each time I visit a new-to-me place in the world, I feel as though I have been changed. Touched by the people I meet and their stories, I can't wait to share those stories with my students, my colleagues, and my family. If any of the discoveries I make along the way are useful to you as well, all the better.

It's a Tai Chi Morning

July 21, 2013

 Each day on our itinerary held its highlights, and this last day in Chongqing was not about to be outdone.  Dressed in our workout duds, we Fulbrighters headed to the section of town where there was a basketball gym, a track, and an all-around play area for non-athletes.  We were to meet up with Mr. Hu's Tai Chi master for a lesson.  
A captivating demonstration

This is so much harder than it looks.  My sparring partner was really strong and was not going easy on the rookie American.  Check out the look of concentration on my face.
