Freelance graphic designer here. Used to work as a marketing designer for a "big six" publisher in NYC, but moved to Maine for a slower pace and am really, really enjoying it.

I would love to move (Retire) to Maine but not sure I would like the cold and snow in
my retirement life.

Have enough of it here in NYC and it's worst in Maine, but it's a beautiful state and
I need / love that slower pace..I'm so done with NYC.

I teach College English (Freshman Composition), and a lot of you have terrible, terrible grammar (and imaginative ways of spelling), but sometimes, I'm guilty as well.

You might find this interesting. The term "Boycott" made me chuckle.

72 Strange True Facts About American English - Yahoo! Voices - voices.yahoo.com

I loved Science in school so I never paid attention to English class and regret it to this day ,so I surf this site every now and then. Did I put the comma in the correct place ?

I find it very sad that cursive/script isn't being taught in all our schools today. There are kids who actually can't read cursive and it's very sad. All our country's document's are in cursive .

PS: Please correct my grammar at anytime, I need any help I can get , I'm serious .



Thanks

Lets see... Graduated High School. Went into my last year of Drum and Bugle Corp. Went to UK for my Bachelors in Music, UL for my Bachelors in Percussion. Played in a band for 15 yrs while going to Nursing school. Didn't graduate nursing school on account of being in a very bad car accident (other guy's fault), Continued playing in the band after I recovered while working in a Plastics Molding plant building Comp Printers. Band split up due to death of one of our members 3 weeks before contract was to be signed. Decided to be a Truck Driver. Have been to every state and Canada and Mexico. Was in down town Manhattan when 9/11 hit (5 blocks from the Towers when they were hit in a Rig even). In 2003 became the proud father of a beautiful little girl. Tore right Shoulder out on the job on June 18, 2012. Had surgery to repair tear on August 3rd. Was re-torn and torn worse by Physical Therapist on Aug 28th, Second Surgery was done on Feb 8, 2013. Still cant raise it and have limited use of it. Doctor has already told me that I have to retire from my industry because now it is a disability. Oh but don't worry I have a very good legal council team on it. So I just tinker around at home. Try and keep my mind busy on other things...
