Married, 53 years old, progressive rock music lover & player (Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, etc.), drummer & organist, no kids, two chinchillas, one hamster, lover of Russian language & culture, the BBC, and the internet. Politically speaking: member of the Libertarian Party, middle of the road on many issues, hoping to do something constructive to help bridge the communications divide between liberals & conservatives, extremely concerned about the 70-year trend towards ever bigger government & dictatorship (especially in the last 8 years), and I believe that there are good people on the Left, the Right, and elsewhere that can talk about these things and hopefully fix them.
