In this blog we will be exploring topics related to personal perceptions (which means, of course, pretty much everything, just as the first blog entry largely concerned the movie, “2001”), encompassing topics like autism,  teaching/learning observations, literature, novel-authoring, etc.  My background is complex, including, teaching, computers, retail, and real estate. After teaching English for fourteen years, I changed careers (computer school), working on the management level for companies as varied as General Mills and Ralph Lauren, and even combined two disciplines by designing curricula for end-user computer training. I lived most of my life in the Northeast but am now living in North Carolina. So much for profile! We will get to know each other not through biography, but through perceptions.
