      Oh man, I was a hot mess as a fifth grader. I was sporting a flattop haircut, which had just gone out of fashion, I wore clothes that were the wrong size because I thought they made me look cool, and I was a smart aleck with a big mouth. Often I corrected people twice my age with an, “Actually, the word ‘nuisance’ means…”, and like every self-respecting fifth-grader, I constantly butted heads with my fourth-grade brother.

      But I devoured every book I could get my hands on, I rode my bike all over town, I watched every episode of Kratt’s Creatures and Bill Nye, I did terrible science projects at the last-minute but still had a great time thinking about the basic question of the world, and just generally enjoyed thinking about the world outside my head as much as the world inside my head.

      I went to a really small school in a tiny town in Colorado. I remember I liked playing the clarinet in band, reading, riding my bike and hanging out with friends.

      Honestly, all that I remember is that I was quite the trouble maker in 5th grade. I was in trouble every day it felt like. There was no reason to it either, I was a nice kid in 4th grade. I got better entering 6th grade.

      School, homework, playing with my pet dog, followed by swimming, softball, or school plays depending on the season. Also video games, lots of sonic the hedgehog.
