Cheating death is like cheating on your taxes: eventually you get caught

About Me

Well, since graduating with a Master's in Math (whoduhthunkit?), I taught in Mississippi for 2 years. The first year at Pontotoc was certainly an experience (not all good, either), but the second year at NWCC was divine! Times change, though, and so I taught at Middle Tennessee State University (go Blue Raiders!). Now though, I'm back in Oxford for good. Meaghin Burke and I got married July 3, 2004 at Mary Mahoney's in Biloxi (in the courtyard). If you're interested, just check out www.megandgreg.com/wedding/wedding.htm to see pictures. (I tried to make it a hyperlink, but it just looks like I crossed through it) We moved to Nashville in August, just to move to a new place and finally make a life for ourselves. It was loads of fun and the restaurant scene was completely worth it, but it would've been a lot more fun if we both had jobs.
