I live in Canton,
Missouri near the college. I was born and raised in Massachusetts in
the Connecticut Valley area of the state and I've spent most of my life
enjoying learning--and I'm still at it! My principal hobby is observational
astronomy. But I'm an eclectic hobbyist. Some days you may find
me with a telescope looking for obscure planetaries
or with a microscope studying spores (my specialty is palynology). On
other days you may find me collecting fossils, rocks, meteorites or
just watching nature. On still other days you may find me
reading, constructing mysterious objects, watching vintage sci-fi
movies, or listening to avant-garde classical or progressive rock
music.
I also like water skiing, cross-country skiing, boating,
hiking, camping, and taking "century trips" on my bicycle. In addition,
I love trying new cuisines, going to plays, concerts, and museums. On
weekends, I love gardening, working on the house, and going to garage
sales or antiquing.
