Ian Westlake

Ian Westlake is another English soccer player, the second in Wikibloogia. In time, Wikibloogia will be able to field its own soccer team. I look forward to that day. Westlake plays in the English League One for a team called the Wycombe Wanderers. Sort of a discouraging name for a soccer team.

But the real story here is Westlake's last name. Westlake. One can't help but think of Theo Huxtable's sexy-yet-demanding teacher Mrs. Westlake. Mrs. Westlake was tough. She pushed Theo to do his best in school, even though he had dyslexia (though we didn't know it at the time).

It was Mrs. Westlake who inspired me to become a teacher. Of course, I'm not a teacher. But Mrs. Westlake inspired me to become one.


A long-awaited arrival.
