Phoenix Gets Snow!

Moving from the Northeast, the last thing we would have ever see is snow in the Valley of the Sun. Well, Sunday evening brought a snow shower to Northern Scottsdale, Glendale and the surrounding areas.

Yes, the desert had snow and YES, we also have different seasons.

On Feb. 21 will mark our one year anniversary of living in Arizona and WOW has the year flew by! We would have never experienced this type of life or enviornment. Hiking at Thunderbird Park and looking out to Phoenix on a clear, sunny day to see the entire valley with its enormous mountains. Breathing in the clean, crisp air (and as Ralph has said) feeling F****** AMAZING MAN!

SEDONA, the amazing natural Red Rock Canyon...

I still have to take my drive up to Vegas and plan to in the next few months and my drive down to Mexico to experience the "West" coast after many years of living on the East coast of the US.

We are still waiting for more visitors to come and know our sudden decision to move out West took some time to get use to.

Hope to see you in 2007!

Orientation and Professor Rating

I had my first orientation at Scottsdale Community College and what a wonderful school! The day was planned out so well and it allowed faculty and adjuncts to become familiar with one another, as well as get to know the campus better.

The head of hospitality made a very funny joke during one of the presentations about RateMyProfessor.com about getting a chili pepper and only a few of us understood. Of course I was one of the few hysterical laughing as I have received a few chili peppers in my past college teaching experiences.

So here are the links directly to my ratings for any of my future students who want to learn more about who I am and what other students have expressed about me as their college Professor and teacher.

Bergen Community College

William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ

Ramapo Ridge Middle School


This always helps in reminding me why I love to teach!

Enjoy some pics...

I won an iPod Shuffle!

With the crappiest day (week/month) from hell, I just got good news that I won an Ipod shuffle!

Not really sure what it is, but I know it looks cute, its small and plays music.
