I was rather surprised when my MSN informed me of an email from “Gary” at 3am. I was wondering who it was and was even more surprised to find out that it was from somebody who posted a comment on my blog.<br /><br />I wasn’t able to access your profile and your blog. But I did take a peek at your poems. Melancholy, gratitude, despondency, optimism… Hmm… I hope I haven’t misinterpreted them. <br /><br />We share some similarities. We both teach. If I have signed up for MOE (Ministry of Education) to teach in formal school, I would most probably be teaching English as well… Ü.<br /><br />I hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing now. I am sure you are. Thanks for your compliments and interest in perusing my blog. Some of my entries are quite crappy though, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. *Haha*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-1100458811593164382004-11-15T03:00:00.000+08:002004-11-15T03:00:00.000+08:00Hi Jolene.

I stumbled across your blog after I posted my blog, and was just clicking my little heart away at links and stuff, and there you were, your pretty self, and your very honest articulation of your world. I would like to correspond with you, although I'm old enough to be your father (55). But you are there in Singapore and I'm in Chicago, and cyberspace is a place where one can establish a new kind of friendship, the kind that begins with shared words. In any case, I'm sending you the link to some of <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fhome.comcast.net%2F%7Egarylatman1%2FMypoetry3.2.html">my poetry</A> -- In case my hyperlink doesn't work here --http://home.comcast.net/~garylatman1/Mypoetry3.2.html<br /><br />A little bit of my background might also help. I've been teaching high school students for the past 28 years. English is what I had been teaching until I took the opportunity to be the school's Technology Coordinator. So I'm on a mission to help my colleagues learn how to integrate the technology into their curriculum. Most of them understand computers only as electronic encyclopedias, which is a very sad commentary about them as professionals. Thus, I've decided that I must be their Guru. To that end, I do teach my colleagues whenever time permits, because I also must be a repairman much of the time, as well as the network administrator. I have been divorced for 4 years, after a long and tumultuous relationship. I enjoy going to restaurants and plays with various friends (developing friendships have supplanted any consideration of finding someone to have a relationship with). And I spend so much time at my computer, I think I am developing bed sores -- he said jokingly.G. Latmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608175342239704901noreply@blogger.com
