Simply put, I am a nerd. I have an unironic enthusiasm for more things than I could list in a proper sentence. I am a reader.  I am a baker and a cook. I am a teacher. I am also a TV binge-water. I'm a film enthusiast, but don't mistake that for my having refined taste in movies. I'll watch anything. I love to be outdoors, but I've never camped. I'm a world traveler and a wannabe photographer without the talent or tools for it. I am a historian. I am a realist and an idealist.
