The Secret Lives of Teachers

Today's LLama Reading Recommendation is "The Secret Lives of Teachers" by Rob Wilder. I've just recently found his essays which he writes for local newspapers in New Mexico---consider him a transplanted Yankee chilling in the desert, kind of like James Lileks minus the Minnesotaean sturdiness (as well as the obsessive compulsive pop culturisms). I'm ordering his "Daddy Needs a Drink" from the Devil's Bookstore today.

Plugola alert: I went to college with Rob, and we were in the same fraternity for a year (before I quit the house), and while we certainly didn't move in the same circles, it's always fun to see someone you knew from way back who you haven't thought about in decades doing something fun and different.
