 PS What the heck is an oardodo?  This has nothing to do with your name,
 right?

 You are not the first to ask and since I've been on the list for almost 2 
years, maybe I should EXPLAIN! Lets see....  

OAR a long blade at one end used to propel or steer a boat
DODO  A STUPID PERSON  (or extinct bird)

My illfated ship is always lost in a thick fog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, 
KP , YOU ARE 
RIGHT! When subscribing to AOL, I went through many combinations of my REAL 
name which I was quickly informed were already taken by other members. 
OARDODO  just came to me after all the frustration  AND I've actually grown 
used to it.

DAN ORR  (oardodo) OTHER PERSONAL INFO BELOW:

I live in High Point, N.C. having moved a year ago from nearby Winston-Salem 
where I grew up ( that is since my family relocated from New York when I was 
5). Would love to hear any news from Seancers familar with this area! I know 
you are out there!
 I am in my 15th year of teaching public high school which I still love 
despite the growing difficulty of the job. I am working on my Masters in 
History part time at a local university , so I don't have much time for 
anything else. Actually, I need to get offline now to grade papers!  Am 
listening to my just received copy of AENT while I am writing this.  CD 
Review  coming soon!
