I joined Facebook finally. not too happy about it but, well there are a lot of people on it - so hey, why not. But I want to support Zaplife, which is a family project so I decided to use it to write a blog and introduce Zaplife to others. so here it is. I live in Somerville, Massachussetts in good and old New England. I am a teacher but want to do creative things outside of that world. so here is one of them. I am using this blog like a sketchbook where I will paste down my ideas and inspirations - a way of thinking out loud. Maybe there will be an audience, maybe not - I don't really care. This is for me and my family (from whom I am a lengthly plane ride apart ) and my friends. meme
