I’m a Civil servant and bibliophile in the poorest state in the US and father of two wonderful children (5 & 10). A thinker (some may say an idler), I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, casual walks, history, reading, music (most kinds, but I love and find comfort in jazz), games with the kids, reading, cooking, learning about other cultures and other places, listening to people, and reading. I’m mostly interested in snail mail correspondents (there’s something more solid about a letter…) but would love to hear from anyone anywhere. I’m in a crumbling city on the periphery of the US, AMA!
