Nate Freiburger

When I'm not teaching I do a lot of imagining. For example, I love to imagine that I can play guitar, and do small woodworking projects, and imagine that I'm growing a really awesome garden that would actually support my small family. I also like to imagine how to do all sorts of other things because I have to imagine doing something before I can actually do it. But mostly, I sing a lot of kids' songs with my daughter and discover things anew with her.
