Greetings from Denmark. Hey, how the heck did I wind up here? After high school I headed to Waterloo where I was a confused student of the humanities. I majored in English, Philosophy, History and beer -not necessarily at the same time. After two years at Waterloo University I began working with mentally handicapped adults in Toronto and Ottawa (where my future wife also worked). She emigrated from Denmark to Canada and we were married in 1992. While working, I finished a BA in Religion at Carleton University. In 1994 my wife convinced me to move to Denmark - Her argument was that I could learn the language and she could complete her studies -and then we could move back to Canada after a couple of years. Yah right! So here I am still after 13 years. I did a BA in Danish and went to teacher's college here. Two beautiful kids came along the way - Jenifer is six and Jonathan is eight. I teach English, Danish and Religion at junior high here and am currently finishing my masters in Comparative Religion at the University of Copenhagen. I don't think I'll ever get out of school!

children's lauhter, playing hide and seek, long discussions about the meaning of life, telling and hearing good stories, good books, summer vacation, trips to Canada

workaday monotony, grumpy school teachers, school bells, Maybe I'm in the wrong profession?

Playing with my kids, swimming, going for long walks with the dog, reading, writing
