I love history, drama, philosophy, literature, stories, and yapping. I love fresh coffee, good food (esp Indian and Thai), pale ale and wine. I was a university history and English TA/student/instructor and am currently a database administrator. Technology fascinates me, which is lucky as I work with it (databases--Sybase, Oracle, SQL Server); but stories fascinate me more. I love all my nieces and nephews immensely :) I'm nuts about dogs. I am a new-ish Anglican, a recovering Fundamentalist. Currenlty am learning how to x country ski, ice skate and rollerblade.
