More About Me

  • Interests: Fantasy and science-fiction role-playing games, choral singing, American numismatics, X-Men comic books, playing / coaching (American) soccer, Star Trek shows / books, Monty Python, playing computer games, HTML web design.
  • Expertise: I profess to be an expert in mainstream X-Men (Uncanny, Adjectiveless, X-Treme (R.I.P.) Astonishing) comic books from the 1980s to the present. That's a heckuva lot of comic books! I also am a self-professed Wasteland (late 1980s post-nuclear war computer role-playing game) and to a lesser degree, the Fallout franchise, nut. Finally, I can quote way too many Monty Python skits and movie scenes.
