It's a new year, a new computer and a few new tax categories, so I thought I should update this profile as well.

I have a masters degree in anthropology with a emphasis on Caribbean archaeology. Of course, I will not be using most of my education in this field in the future (see below).

I am divorced. If this presents a problem to anyone reading this profile, that's fine. I'm not offended, and feel free to hit the back button on your browser.

I am Lutheran. Most of the tests on here are rather amusing but that one that labeled me a liberal Christan is right on the money. So if you are someone who thinks that these two words don't go together, you probably wouldn't get along with me.

Despite living in an urban (or suburban) setting for nearly ten years, I love the outdoors: camping, backpacking, climbing, canoing, and just generally being outside.

I'm a geek. I'm probably what you'd call a geek of all trades, master of none. Which keeps me from being too obsessive about one thing.

Having found myself departing from Chicago where I have resided for the last ten years, I am once again in central Pennsylvania. I am now at Penn State, picking up my certification for secondary education in social studies. I may continue onwards in my ever-lengthening university career and get my PhD in history. But, that will be a few years in the future.

I hate these questions. But, since they asked, I'm a natural speed reader (at somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000/wpm). I take standardized tests really well. I'm a fount of useless knowledge.

My height/weight. I'm 5'10" and roughly 135 lbs. This makes me either appear taller than I am, or gets me labeled such flattering adjectives as beanpole (or something similar).

My beard. I'll admit it, I have a boyish face. And without the facial hair, I'd look about twelve. I grew out my beard to look older than my students when I was a TA in grad school. I'll keep it to look older than my soon-to-be students.

(a) Fiction - Lord of the Rings, Neuromancer et al., American Gods. (I could keep going, but thats good for a start). Nonfiction - Mismeasure of Man, Ordinary Men, Distinction (A few that have had a big impact on me).

(b) The Shawshank Redemption, Indiana Jones (required for us digging types), Heat. I'll list more later.

(c)I'm a product of the nineties. Lately I've been listening to a lot of old Alice in Chains. Oh, and my favorite bands are LIVE and Smashing Pumpkins (thanks to my Chicago days). But my overall taste in music is pretty wide ranging, from Classical to Alternative.

(d)They honestly expect me to list those. I'd be writing from now till eternity. I just love to eat, period.

I haven't completely scared you off by the time you finish reading my profile.
