I am a former high School Spanish, English and French teacher. I spent 1985-2007 in the Seattle area. My parents were both born in Poland and spent World War II in Siberia. I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and grew up in New York, New York. I love literature, travel, and cats and dogs, especially poodles. I am the co-parent of one poodle and a Pomeranian dog.

Ojo: que no me llames ni norteamericano ni estadounidense. Soy AMERICANO. Ningún otro país del hemisferio contiene la palabra "América" dentro de su nombre oficial. Hay, por ejemplo, "Los Estados Unidos de México" y ciudadanos de Costa Rica y del Canadá caben también dentro de la categoría de "norteamericano". No me molestes con tonterías.
