BioWho am I? I was born in Connecticut, far too close to thirty years ago for any degree of comfort. I'm a poet, an artist, a Gemini with Scorpio ascendant and Aquarius moon, a student of History and Anthropology, a voracious reader and, I'm told, something of a pain in the nether regions. I live in a wonderful little apartment in Baltimore with my kitten Beren, who likes to wake me up at four in the morning by nibbling on my fingers, and my cat Jonny, who cleans him as he does so and purrs. Each of them showed up on my doorstep more or less by accident, but I feel far richer for their presence, if occasionally less well rested. I enjoy people in small groups and loathe them in large ones. I'm a little bit shy, but I try not to let people see it. I love to teach, which is good in my tutoring job and not quite as good in real life. I do not claim to be beautiful, but I am positive that I am worth knowing despite that. I abhorr willful ignorance, prejudice, and unkindness, but I find Political Correctness a poor solution to them. I am a liberal Democrat and an idealist. Above all else, I try to live a good life, not because I'm obliged to by religious constraints, although I take my spirituality seriously, but because I want to be my most perfect self and I'll never accomplish that by doing less.
