I tend to be serious more frequently than I am happy, and I am more shy than I act. And act is the key word here; as a teacher or musician, you shouldn\u2019t appear to be shy. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s against the law, but it is generally discouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was born in Oregon. My parents, and some of my grandparents, were born in Oregon. I lived in Eureka, California for awhile, and I liked that too. It\u2019s a lot like my part of Oregon, only all the highway signs are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SomberMoose.com is my playground. I do some website consulting, so I like to try to make web stuff work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn\u2019t. Here is where I often discover that. You learn a lot when you fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please turn off the lights on your way out, and thank you for visiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About SomberMoose There are well over a million moose in North America.
