Wow, I go away for a few days and I come back to find out Wikipedia has a completely new look and I'm an admin. What fun. Still waiting for DSL to arrive though so I won't be doing much esiting for a while, and there's tons of "real" work to do around the new home (it's a real trip pretending to be a home improvement type--I've been spending a LOT of time wandering around gape-mouthed in stores like Home Depot and Lowes).
I expect that I may be intermittently absent from Wikipedia editing during May while we move to a new house.
Greetings. I haven't put a great deal of thought into what's on this page or how it looks. Right now I'm more interested in writing articles than spiffing up this point of presence on Wikipedia. I've seen some really great layouts on some other user pages, so I may get around to upgrading this page sometime. But for now, there's not much to see here.
In case there's any confusion, I use older≠wiser as my signature. This is entirely a self-referential comment. Excepting myself, people generally are wiser as they get older.
I'm a technical writer by training, currently, uhm, "between engagements," no thanks to the incompetent handling of the economy by the miserable failure currently occupying the white House.
I live in Albion, Michigan. My wife is a professor at Albion College.
I've discovered Wikipedia in February, 2004 and began editing almost immediately. My interests and plans for wiki articles include Michigan, New Zealand, Australia and Germany. (My wife's mother was Cherry Wilder, who spent time in NZ, Oz and Deutschland. Also, all my grandparents were from Germany as well.)
Though I never would have guessed this when I started, I have become very interested in articles relating to U.S. History, from the colonial period through early territorial expansion, especially pertaining to the midwest, but each of the territories have lots of interesting stories to unravel.
