"'I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.' - Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany in The Lion in Winter"

I kept running across Wikipedia while fact checking for work and soon found myself browsing it for ridiculous amounts of time. Figured I'd contribute in whatever small way I could. Did a few minor edits as I familiarized myself with the mark up and structure. Soon I felt confident enough to try a new page -and when that didn't bring down the whole site, I continued.

my interests

 * books - all kinds but I have a special affinity for mystery novels - Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe series, Dorothy Sayers' Peter Wimsey mysteries, and I am trying to collect once again the mystery series' of my youth - Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew. I'm also a fan of historical fiction - Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond chronicles are a favorite. And I'm always happy to delve into non-fiction of all kinds - especially cultural histories (especially anything touching upon food, culinary tradtions, etc) and biographies
 * history - it's all interesting to me but I am especially interested lately in the Jewish history of Rome.
 * Travel
 * Food
 * theater

wiki things to do
working on that at the moment... will most likely involve food.
