I love to read and write and I am lucky enough to make a living teaching both. I also write, record, and perform music in a few different projects over the years. Can't do audiobooks. Enjoy a good paperback/hardcover.

I do not participate in any other forms of social media. Goodreads is good enough for me.

I also buy and sell classic soul, funk, and early rock 'n' roll vinyl 45s on Discogs (if you're into that sort of thing):
