About

If you made it here, chances are we ‘met’ me at The Sunken Place (formerly known as Tw*tter) many, many years ago and we still interact at The New Place. I am glad you’re still hanging around for my random musings! If you are truly new, welcome.

I am also in a new place IRL, having returned to Indiana in 2021 where I now teach 7th Grade Pre-Algebra. Every year for the past 4 years has been ‘my last year,’ yet I still show-up in August convinced that it will be my best year.

This new space will be different from previous blogging efforst because I am committing to dedicating the vast majority oy my writing energy to discovering more about my family’s genealogy and the history of African Americans in Indiana, dating back to the 1700s. 

Whether you are here for the Math insights or the History lessons, I hope you find something worthwhile.
