Family: I grew up in the South, mostly Mississippi, but also lived for periods in New Orleans and East Texas. Most of my family is spread across the same area. I moved to Vermont a little over twenty years ago and fell in love with the state.
Pets: I have a six year old cat named Beans. She is a grey, black, and white English Tabby/Bengal Cat mix. She keeps me on my toes, especially when I’m being stalked.
Hobbies/Interests: Hiking and snowshoeing. Reading philosophy and history. Listening to/watching audio and video lectures from interesting, free online courses. Stanford and Oxford have large libraries but schools from MIT, Yale, Harvard and even Hong Kong University, among many more have growing offerings.
Favorite Books: Three of them are: “The Art of Living,” Epictetus; “Life,” Richard Fortey; “Being Logical,” D.Q. McInterny
Favorite TV: Firefly, CSI, Numb3rs
Favorite Drink: Maker’s Manhattan
Favorite Sports/Games: US football, I follow the New Orleans Saints fairly closely.
