Now for something completely different

My husband Mitch and I are enjoying a very odd sort of 15 minutes of fame, having just been the subject of a feature article about contra dance (and love!) in the local paper.

I remember how I felt the first time I saw a teacher outside of school. She was doing something ordinary like shopping, and I was rather stunned. It never occurred to me that teachers ate actual food or needed to buy clothes. I don't think the students who happen to read this piece will harbor any such illusions about me.
