teaches of...

Been working with a pretty cool, laid back guy this summer (I was surprised to find out he used to be a Marine) who likes to give his students poems like Barbie Doll and works by Kate Chopin.
"Do you like Chopin? You have to read The Storm!"  He found it on the internet. "Here, read it  now!" Interesting story...
I always thought "Cajun" just meant French people from Louisiana, about the same as saying "Creole," but apparently it's actually a shortened form of "Acadian"--French from Nova Scotia, and different from "Creole."
There's some weird Barbie doll stuff on youtube...
