Me, David and Mom's chin

Funny thing is, I was shy in childhood and even now in a group. But, my favorite color is red (Pompeii red, to be exact) - go figure!

For years I've been trying to deconstruct 'shyness', there's something wrong with how we (the culture) use the word. I was described by many as shy, but was in school plays and school bands, and became a teacher and an activist. Many other teachers that I know also describe themselves as 'shy', but standing in front of a classroom doesn't exactly fit with 'shy'. I suspect that being uncomfortable interacting in groups is something different from shyness, since many overcome that discomfort by being being very obvious (different color clothes, public speaking).

charming smile, do you have it always -
so, the whole life you wear red coats !!!

Yes, I have one now, in fact! My smile...I use it sometimes, not 24/7. :-)
