Happily married smalltown functionary---please do not contact me if you are looking for romance.

US-born, Canadian-raised.

Over-educated and underpaid.

Please note again...I AM HAPPILY MARRIED...don't write me turgid paragraphs re: what you are looking for in a woman....or tell me how you'll fly me to the moon---I have my own broom, thank you, and will get there by myself.

archaeology of Egypt and of  Roman Britain (go Ermine Street Guard!)

the Reformation

word games, especially Royalty

love antique aeroplanes; don't be sharp, don't be flat, just B-52

I am an elected Constable of our town. No, I do not not carry a gun & go about muttering things like 'Ten-Four'. In New England a Constable is something leftover from Puritan days (probably their job then was peering in people's windows to make sure they weren't having any FUN), & the job nowadays is mostly keeping order at the polls during elections.

I am involved in brittany rescue. Brittanys are the best dogs in the world: ever-curious, ever-enthusiastic, and totally demented.

R&B, Motown, Maroon5, glam rock, Barenaked Ladies, Juanes, Steam Powered Giraffe

have been lucky enough to see these performers live: Gloria Estefan, Tina Turner (twice!), Manhattan Transfer, Weird Al, Kodo Drummers (twice)

Casablanca, Up, Bend it Like Beckham, Room With a View, The Incredibles, Brief Encounter, Toy Story, Chicken Run, anything with Fred & Ginger, anything with Bette Davis, the Marx Brothers, The King's Speech

dislike anything gory, or Stephen King-ish, and ANYTHING that comes as a trilogy!

forensics

history, archaeology, biography, Ruth Rendell, WWII memoirs, true crime

If the world did blow itself up, the last audible sound would be an expert saying it couldn't be done.
