I’m a support Bob (all tech support personnel are called Bob, didn’t you know that?) employed by an Enormous Computer Corporation, and at one time or another, I’ve done or been a bureaucrat, bassist, photographer, writer, bus driver, revenuer, usher, drummer, secretary, librarian’s assistant, disk jockey, book scout, movie projectionist, cemetery researcher, roadie, book dealer, yard-saler, jackleg home DIYer. . . .  I’ve a BA in English and a couple of geeky certifications to hang on the wall, and a huge miscellany of information on a preposterous number of subjects with which I come out at random, to the astonishment and occasional edification of my acquaintance.  I enjoy being mildly eccentric and curmudgeonly, I love traditional and Celtic music, and am a storyteller by disposition.  I’m a Meyers-Briggs ISTJ, although I keep a few roles available that I can assume if I need to get myself through a public event.  I amuse myself by reading mysteries, some mainstream fiction, some fantasy, biography and history; haunt yard sales for bargains which I re-sell on eBay; work on my home and garden; do counted cross-stitch; collect Texana; brew my own beer; do experimental cookery.
