Preamble.

Hello. My name is Frankie, and I am a first time blogger.

Actually, that's a lie. While taking my B.Ed., a professor forced us to take part in a communal blog. I believe it was his attempt to be "with it" and "hip" but all it really did was allow people to argue points online that they were too spineless to support in class. On the internet, they were vikings!

After my first post, I refused the blog activity and stood on moral high ground. By B.Ed. standards, I failed that class. I only got a B. But B.Ed. grade-scales is a blog for another day...

If you're reading this, you probably know me. If you don't know me, well, welcome. You should know that I'm a Canadian, teaching in Shenzhen, China. China is a bit of an addiction with me and I've returned for the 4th time. I've been a teacher here before, and I've run a restaurant. This blog will be my attempt to keep people at home in the loop with what is going on in my life. In a lot of cases I'm going to assume that readers know places, situations and people. If you're confused someday by one of my assumptions, please, ask for clarification.

There. Preamble out of the way. I'm sure I'll find a better place for it as I get to know this site, but for now, there it is.
