Why, hello there...

[Please see also this array of carefully selected photos of me looking dashing while doing fun, sporty activities that I hope will endear you to me and foster affection.]

  • I have a runner's build but don't have runners' knees.
  • My kayak has running lights and a CD player.
  • My family is very small, and of northern European extraction (sometimes I get the jokes on 'A Prairie Home Companion' a little too well).
  • My computer is a Mac (and I felt the need to share that with you).
  • I get most of my news from the BBC and NPR.
