Introducing myself, David Bowles

Hey there. Verileah has pointed me here and told me quite firmly to introduce myself. So, yeah, I'm a teacher at a charter school in deep south Texas, just a few miles from the Mexican border. Aside from all the really deep literature I teach (whoa! heavy!), I fancy myself a writer of sci-fi and fantasy (though the first novel I've written and polished up has yet to be published) as well as poetry. I dabble in graphics a bit (I'm yearbook adviser at this school and we do... or rather, my daughter does the entire annual in Photoshop), but nowhere near the level of most of you incredible artists. What else, what else... my wife is from Mexico, where she studied photography and hotel science; right now she's really into construction and woodworking. I have three beautiful children who brighten my every waking moment (occasionally by starting fires).

I can't think of anything else to say, but I'll open the floor for questions, even silly ones.

Looking forward to battling it out with you in the next Mafia =) Feel free to post any bits of your work or big bits! And welcome to the board. I'm Mae, I'm the board owner and Veri's part of my crew here. We love her tons!

Thanks for the welcome... are you really in the "the great Yukon"?

You make me sound so bossy . I thought I asked nicely.
David Bowles 19 years ago
You asked extremely nicely... I just figured that everyone knows you here and would get a kick out of my painting you as some hostile, bossy uberwench.

Don't be so damned sensitive! Heh.

My sig is a short epigram by one of my favorite poets, Catullus. Translated into English, it reads:

I hate and I love. Why do I do this, you might ask?
I don’t know, but I feel it happening, and I am tormented.

Yeah its ironic thinking back to what this board was and what it is now. I have friends who've come back after a year and are like, '....who are these people?' LOL. I love my board /squeal!

Although, wasn't Patrick in a newspaper for the mafia thing? That's sort of world renowned! Or, at least, Utah renowned!

Were you in the papers too David? *looks innocent*
