I am a degreed historian, with field areas in Japan and US history. (Other specialties within those broad fields including the Military history of both countries)
I love cats, particularly I loved my Russian Blue cat Mischa who was my dear girl. She was smarter than some humans I know, and I miss her.
Comics are wonderful... And without them I'd be a much sadder person.

Since I get asked a lot, my political beliefs are all over the board, since my belief in Christ informs whatever choice I make, so it would be safe to say I am de facto 3rd Party, Green in views, but of an opinion that certain things are wrong or need guidance from an authority. I'd like to say I am in party but most parties have one major thing in their set of beliefs that I find horrid. So until I meet the perfect party, I am just me, voting.
