about me

I often have a beard.  I like to laugh – a lot.  If you put it in front of me, I will eat it (probably more than once: I’m never sure if I actually didn’t like it).  My face is always rosy – regardless of SPF or any other efforts I make.

Currently, I live, teach, and study in Arkansas.

The title of the blog is a fairly lame reference to Jerome K. Jerome’s 3 Men on a Boat.  I dig the book far more than any person probably should.  Also, I like boats and the sea.

My favorite quotation is:

“There are people who boast that they “get bored very easily”. They’re implying that their minds are too active and creative to be tied down for long by one task, career or even group of friends. Most things, they’re suggesting, are beneath their contempt. But getting bored easily is the mark of the moron, the person who can stick at nothing and anything really worthwhile, anyone but a superhuman has to stick at. School is where this wearying truth must make itself known.” David Mitchell, The Observer – Jan. 11, 2009

When I was a child, my parents gave me a wooden board for Christmas because I wouldn’t stop saying “I’m bored.” I don’t know if those words came out of my mouth again.
