None of this is particularly relevant to any course you might be taking from me, but I have found that students are sometimes curious about their professors, and it can make your professor seem somewhat less one dimensional if you know a little more about him or her. So here it is if you're interested.

To facilitate getting to the parts that might interest you here are some subject areas:

• Where do I live?
• Where was I born and raised?
• What happened to me after high school?
• Do I have any hobbies?
• My version of family values (Warning: If what might be considered by some as a "flouting of convention" could be offensive to you, do not go here.)
