Hi

Rita
Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Rita, and I have been teaching ESL for quite a long time. I just recently got married (April 2006). Norm, my husband, has two sons, Isaac and Zach, so that makes me a step-mom. Norm is an engineer. Isacc is 11 years old and loves computer games. Zach is 18 and is studying media communications at college. I had a cat, but she died - she was almost 20. I just got a puppy (a cockapoo), but I haven't chosen a name for him yet. Any ideas? Why don't you post a message and tell us a little about yourself.
