Welcome to Starkeyland!

This blog, started on Dec. 17th, 2006, as a gift to my father -- James D. Starkey, boy teacher -- is meant to be a medium for his endless ideas, short stories, poems and all around funny stories. I'm biased, but he's one of two great teachers I've had in my 26 years (the second teacher being my mom) and I still miss having his perspective when I read an article, book or see a great movie. He constantly has his nose in a book or magazine and when he doesn't he's writing himself. Most recently his days have been filled with good friend Bud being handy men for their friends and former colleagues, but hopefully this blog will inspire him to continue writing and those who love him to be able to continue to interact with him.
