[edit] About Me
Resident of Maryland, born and raised in California. I'm a Librarian, sports junkie, freelance writer, and amateur historian.
[edit] I Geek For
- Harry Potter. One of the two topic areas in which you're most likely to see me editing Wikipedia articles.
- Peanuts. This is the other topic where you'll see me editing a lot of articles. I grew up reading Peanuts, through books and in the newspaper, and I still love it as much as ever. Calvin and Hobbes and FoxTrot are also favorite comic strips.
- NASCAR. Mark Martin and Rick Mast were my boys back in the day. Now that Rick’s retired and Mark’s getting there, I’ve also become a Casey Mears fan.
- Early Modern European History. I find it a fascinating period to study, both for the remarkable changes, advances, and discoveries that were going on, and for some of the crucial events and decisions made that are still affecting the world even today.
- UC Santa Barbara. Go Gauchos!
- Good food and good cooking. I'm definitely a meat and potatoes guy - some of my favorite foods are steak, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta, shellfish, potato salad, lasagna, eggs, popcorn, enchiladas, fried rice, and wonton soup.
- Travel. I've been to England, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and about 25 US States, but there are still so many more places I'd love to visit, I could take up the rest of the article just listing them all.
[edit] I Heap Scorn Upon
- Political extremists. If ever there was a time for the “silent majority” to rise up and tell the radicals on both sides how ridiculously out-of-touch they are with reality, this is it.
- Biased journalists who claim not to be. Let’s just let our news sources come out and openly declare that they’re left-wing or right-wing like they do in Europe, and quit hiding behind these poorly disguised attempts at objectivity. They're not fooling anyone.
- Labor strife in sports. Y’all are making millions of dollars already, and for doing nothing productive except keeping the rest of us entertained. So just split up your damn pot of gold and go play ball, already!
- Selfish drivers. The ones who weave through traffic, zoom to the front of long exit ramp lines on the freeway and then bull their way in, hold everyone up while they try to make a left turn from three lanes over…you know the kind.
- Cell phone addicts. There’s a reason why places like libraries and movie theaters tell you to turn the phone off, people. They’re supposed to be quiet environments, and the rest of us who are being quiet don’t want to have to sit there listening to you tell your friends about all the gory details of last night’s disastrous date.
