FIVE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MYSELF:
1) I spout unsolicited bursts of poetry.
2) I learned to swim at age 34 and unicycle at 52.
3) I like the sound of the word "thriven."
4) I have six non-working iPods in my desk drawer.
5) My mother-in-law (age 85) does my laundry. Bless her heart.

FOUR ITEMS ON MY BUCKET LIST:
None. I was diagnosed with breast cancer nine years ago, which invited me to look this question square on. I live fully and deliberately. No list.

TWO THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME LAUGH OR CRY AS AN EDUCATOR:
1) When a co-worker yelled at me in front of my students (for letting my students be too loud in the hall), I cried.
2) When I teach "Much Ado About Nothing," I laugh--a lot.

AND ONE THING I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT ME:
1) After reading Sam Harris's book "Lying," I am trying to live lie-free. It's not that I was some big liar before, but the book made me realize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways people are willing to bend the truth to avoid conflict or discomfort. Learning to be truthful at all times is wonderfully freeing.

Day 10
Reflection:
Today's blog felt disjointed; however, it did give me pause to consider my public disclosure of self. All writing is decision-making.
