I am enjoying this new feature of AARP. org--at least new to me.  I hope you all will share your thoughts about life, teaching, learning, tattoos, NPR, reading, children and grandchildren, pets, cooking and whatever else fascinates you.

I am an alomost 56 year old out lesbian professor at a big public university and lvoe my work. This is eyar 21 for me in college teaching and I also taught 6 years in alternative high schools.  I teach mostly first year students every eyar and really find them wodnerful--fuill of big dreams, cocky, unsure, sweet, mean, handsome, not so handsome, kind, hard-working.  Too many our age see only the negative about this generation.  Talk to some before you sell them short.

Let's have,as the Robert Randolph Family Band says, "More love," in this hard old world.

Namaste,
