I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Recovering archaeologist (my sponsor says as long as i can keep from excavating anything each day I'll be ok)... Now I run amok for God and teach English to adults and teens. Making happy productive world citizens and new Americans who can participate meaningfully in our society.

My Interests

God, fixing the jacked up world, history, archaeology, anything nautical but especially 16-19 centuries, all the arts (performing, visual, literary), languages

I'd like to meet:

All those unruly insconsiderate world leaders and terrorist wannabe leaders who keep causing trouble, so I can ask them if they have any idea how f-in busy I am... then perhaps we can all skip around hand in hand singing and decide to be best friends forever? nice thought

Music:

Almost anything from medieval chanting to ska & rap-metal. Favorites include Mozart, Indigo Girls, Day of Fire, Willie Nelson, Audio Adrenaline, Metallica, Hildegard von Bingen, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, and Scorpions. Don't like insipid pop songs or that strain of rap which specializes in stupidity, violence and misogyny.

Movies:

Again pretty eclectic. Favorites include Dangerous Beauty, The Green Mile, Braveheart, Only You (shut up!), Man of La Mancha, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, The Shawshank Redemption, Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet, and Branagh/Thompson version of Much Ado About Nothing

Television:

All I see not in reruns is Deadliest Catch, sports, and random documentaries. Mostly it's late-night reruns of X-Files, Buffy, Angel, Sex & City, MASH, Frasier, Scrubs, or Cheers. Love Medium, Numbers, 24, and Boston Legal but hopelessly behind on all.

Books:

I own thousands (no, seriously), mostly nonfiction related to nautical stuff, history, archaeology or religions. Most of the fiction in our house is Dale's. However I'm currently plowing back through the Ann Rice novels to give my brain a summer vacation.

Heroes:

AW, MC, WC, EM, C-CD and all the others I won't know till we get to the pub. I pray every day that this list will never get any longer, though I realize that's like praying for an end to gravity.

plundering company time

Stealing a few moments from CEL to check on what my sweetie assures me is the most devious time-wasting device ever created by humanity.  So far I think he's right - it's very interesti...
