Congratulations, you found me. I'm Michael, living in the Boston area, Massachusetts, USA. I'm currently underemployed, working in private child care; I'm trained and certified as an elementary-school teacher (grades 1-6, which is ages 6-12) but have decided that I'm not interested in working in a school environment. Currently, I feel 
. Odds are you can find details in my journal.
A note: If I am or was your teacher, camp counsellor, babysitter, or anything of that nature, hey there! I'm glad you made it. You are more than welcome to stay and look around all you like, and please sign my Guestbook to let me know you stopped by! Also, if I was the student teacher in your fifth-grade (at the Trotter) or third-grade (at Pierce) class and you're used to calling me Mr [Last Name], please don't! I always hated being called that and cringed every time I heard it. That's obviously not your fault, but my name is Michael and that's what I'd rather you called me.
There is no sexual content on my site, for the record. There are, however, discussions of my gender identity and sexual orientation. If that's information you really don't want, feel free to skip over it. If anything on my site raises any questions or concerns for you, please please contact me with them. I promise that nothing you ask or tell me will be anything I haven't heard before, and I don't want to leave you stranded with your confusion or concern about anything.
People have told me that they can't find my contact info anywhere on my website. It's everywhere, I swear, but I have now created a page with it all in one place for you.
This site is big, but not really hard to navigate. Just in case you're curious, though, I've made a sitemap - a page that lists every page on my site, with links and a brief description of each one. Click here to check it out.

"In Germany they came first for the communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up."
--- Said by Rev. Martin J. Niemoller in 1945
