Extended Profile
All About Swt
I am a middle school history teacher in Sherman, Texas. My name, SwtOGirl, is short for "Sweet Orion's Girl." My DH (darling husband)'s screenname is, of course, SwtOrion. I've been married to my hunny for 7 years. I have two sons. My oldest, Aaron, is pictured
above at his one-year birthday party (he's now 2 1/2). (I'll try to update the picture soon to one of me and both of my sons.)
What I'm Into
I collect historical reference books, Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, and Stephen King. I also read Isaac Asimov, Scott Turow, Lisa Scottoline, Iris Johansen, and Peter Straub. I read mostly Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Mysteries, and Historical Nonfiction.
What I'm Reading
Honestly, mostly fix-it books right now. We've bought a new house with lots of minor problems!! No time for fiction!
Recently Read
Obsessed by Ted Dekker -- really an excellent book, especially for folks who like to read about the Holocaust
Philosophical Meanderings
"Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization... Without it, the imagination is but the echo of the self, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility."
~~ Bill Moyers
"...history is to be regarded not as a sequence of happenings but as a series of problems." ~~ Geoffrey Barraclough
