I dislike television news - local, national, cable - it doesn't matter. I dislike all of it.

I can still remember the first time I looked at Saturn through a telescope when I was about 8 years old.

I worked in a small grocery store through high school. It had two aisles and one checkout line. Other jobs I've had were detasseling, derouging, walking beans, night cleaning crew, ice cream shop, and planetarium director for a museum.

Pikolinos are my favorite shoe brand. They last a long time and I still wear every pair I've ever purchased.

I know Morse code as a result of earning my amateur radio license. I am convinced this skill will someday save my life.

I make quilts. I do all my own piecing and quilting.

It drives me bonkers when people put periods and commas outside of quotation marks.

I dislike store-bought white bread.

I'm an amateur photographer and shoot weddings and senior portraits for friends and family.

I enjoy using Mac OS and Linux. I use Windows only when I have to.

The earliest evidence I can find of my online presence is this post to the sci.astro news group on October 13, 1992.
