I love my students, so it’s difficult to imagine life without teaching and music. I would probably get paid meagerly for all the not-for-profit work I am currently doing for free?

Rolling Stones. Everybody tells me that the Stones are better than the Beatles (I am a huge Beatles fan) and follows up by stating I can’t make an accurate assessment of the Stones because I haven’t seen them live. I would consider it a part of my research.5 j; A7 w! k/ p6 Y' y8 S' s
