I'm an college instructor of literature and writing and so naturally I love to read and write. I'm also interested in leftist politics in the broadest sense, though I am very open-minded and love discussing different perspectives with folks. I love urban bicycling so much that I've worked as a bicycle tour guide and bike messenger. With friends, I am part of a trivia night team at a local bar, and I also go on long bike rides to new parts of the city with my more adventurous bike buddies.
