I'm a Longhorn bull born in Spain in the
early summer of 1936. My name is
Ferdinand.
I spent much of my youth in a beautiful
pasture, sitting under a cork tree, smelling
the flowers. Through a confrontation with a
bumblebee and a subsequent
misunderstanding, a group from Madrid
selected me to participate in a sporting
event. I however I was not suited to the
task. As I left the arena several members
of the opposing team, called Banderollos
and Picadores I think, were seen banging
their heads on the ground. Another fellow,
called a Matador, fell on his own sword in
frustration. Strange behavior I would say.
At any rate I emigrated to America shortly
thereafter and have been teaching ever
since.
Hobbies and Interests
Computing, is an abiding interest for me.
Next to smelling flowers of course.
