In brief:

Southern Nationalist (born and bred in North Carolina; I can't help it);
Wargamer (prefer tactical boardgames; Advanced Squad Leader is my specialty);
Pro-life vegetarian (ALL life deserves respect);
Reagan-Republican-turned-Independent;
Mystie (hard to pick a favorite, but any Gamera film has to come closest);
currently employed as a history teacher at "a famous North Carolina university in the Triangle area";

Since people ask: My degrees (in order of date of award)...and all SELF-FINANCED...

BA in Theology (from a UMC-related school)
BA in Mathematics (a waste of time)
BA in History (strictly for fun)
MA and PhD in Modern European History (I can tell you more about our economic run-up to Lend Lease and its subsequent effects on the war than you want to know, or I even wanted to know)
