Language teacher during the week, I am always on the lookout for what catches my eye on runs, hikes, bike-rides…
I grew up in Germany, Arizona, and Georgia, (I was an army brat, born in Korea), before moving to Seattle. After a year there, and then a year in France, I returned to the Pacific Northwest, where I got married. My wife and I spent several years in Seattle before going to live in Central America for a year…
...during which we lived in León, Nicaragua. While sweating under the mango trees, we sent weekly e-mails to friends…and the habit of doing so spawned my first blog, afternica.blogspot.com, when we returned to the Pacific NW.
In the summer of 2007 we relocated (again) to Arizona…And now, years later, no longer is there a need for the blog’s title to be geographically-specific, so as of July 8, 2011, "allophile” is the new home for the blog. Thanks for following…
