Info
I am a tentative newcomer to editing Wikipedia, but I am interested in contributing more because sharing knowledge is an incredibly noble and humanizing goal. So far, my edits have been small - mostly for grammar, flow, and clarity. As I try to create a couple of small articles, I welcome any help and/or criticism.

Areas of Interest
I am a lifetime student of the humanities, although I only completed a minor in Philosophy. I am compelled to learn.
 * Human Evolution
 * Prehistory
 * Western History
 * US History
 * The English Language (and it's history)
 * Classic and Contemporary Literature
 * Buddhism
 * Japanese Language and Culture (I am a green but enthusiastic amature)
 * Martial Arts

Activities
I live, work, and write in New London, CT. I have played in rock bands since 1998, and currently am the singer/songwriter for the three-piece I &hearts; Diane. I also practice Aikido and the exquisite art of the Samurai Sword.

To Do List

 * Article (Stub) on Seishin "spirit" - concept in Japanese culture and martial arts
 * Update [Albert Bushnell Hart] to include his marriage to Mary Hurd Putnam circa 1868 and the adoption of twin German boys (my ancestors) after the death of his biological infant son circa turn of the century.
 * Become proficient at Wiki Markup!!
