I have a master's degree in political science and a Ph.D in library and information science.  I read news from many different souces and like to listen to NPR, but I can't watch news on television because it's depressing.  I think community journalism and its ability to engage people in a community wide conversation is a progressive invention--still being invented.

I like to read fantasy and science fiction, history, literary fiction and the New York Review of Books.  I play drums and guitar and I love jazz and wish I could play it, but I'm not good enough.  I'm a pretty decent rock and roll drummer.  I like sushi and chicken korma, but not at the same time.  My wife, who is a sushi chef, is interested in Japanese notions of the afterlife, specifically hell, and we have many long and amusing conversations on weekends.  Usually she is not wielding a knife.
