| Introduction | I currently live in Milwaukie, Oregon with my wife and two cats. We moved here from Central Illinois--nowhere near Chicago--about half a year ago. She's going to school for her masters in Art Therapy, while I work full time at the Oxford Suites. I've worked in hotels for six years. I generally hate people in practice and find them fascinating in theory. I'm a bit of a bibliophile. (Actually, I'm a huge bibliophile.) My favorite authors are Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Thomas Hardy, and G.K. Chesterton. I enjoy drinking. I pretty much know no one here except my wife and the people I work with, which gives me plenty of time to read or play videogames. I plan on going back to school soon to study theology and hopefully go to an Episcopalian seminary, but as of right now, it's work and self-education. |
