I’ve been teaching part time for the past few years at a state college here in Nevada. I’ve also started teaching online, which is a different type of teaching, but I have a masters degree dedicated to that art and I’m glad to finally be teaching in that environment, too. I like teaching and, in […]

Ancient Civilizations of North America
If you’re at all interested in North America’s history, this is an excellent Great Course to consume. It really does do a solid job of putting the peoples of North America into the historic map. I learned a lot about how North America (mostly the US) was peopled, how early that happened, and what some […]

Team Atlas in Tucson

We false alerted on our first two elements (interiors and containers). We’ve been having some trouble with containers recently–it’s […]
