Josh Karaczewski has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area his whole life - save for a year studying architecture in Boston.

He majored in Art, taking English classes for fun.

He recently moved back to teaching High School English full time after a couple years substitute teaching, which is better on the bank account, but terrible for writing. He is also a partner in his family candy business, Chastity Chocolates (www.chastitychocolates.com), specializing in high quality small batch confections and baked goods.

He has a fabulous marriage that has produced three fabulous children.

He enjoys reading, writing, art, film, and video games.

Visitors to his blog will find coupon codes, as well as extended book reviews, news, and other information useless

Forty hit and I lost the ability to sleep in on days off. Between 3 and 4AM I have my first wake-up; sometime in the 5s I wake, berate and cajole myself to go back to sleep; sometimes I am successful and can make it all the way to 6:30, but most often I give up at 6 and quit my bed.
When the necessary bodily evacuations are made, coffee is brewed, and the kitchen is tidied I find myself in a quiet Read more of this blog post »
