    Model railroading, backyard astronomy, space exploration, music (composition, play the French Horn, Oboe, Alto Recorder, and Cornet), learning to play the ukulele (seriously, I am :D), kit-bashing, camping, and hiking, reading great science fiction, and escaping the university campus any chance I get!

    I teach World Civilization, U.S. History, and U.S. Foreign Policy at the college/university level. So, with that said, I love history, love to do research, and enjoy good conversation.

    Quote of the day:

    "Some people want to give money to their children, buy houses, go on a holiday—whatever it is that they want to invest in. This particular journey has been something that I wanted to do most of my life, but there was no real opportunity to do so."

    Sarah Brightman
    ( Aug 14, 1960 -             )
    Quoted in an interview, "Sarah Brightman chases her dream to the International Space Station," as contained in the on-line publication, The Space Review, 6 April 2015.

    Sarah Brightman is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, musician, songwriter, and dancer. She has sung in many languages, including English, Spanish, French, Latin, German, Turkish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Catalan. Within the interview, she discusses the  $50 million U.S. price tag of her own personal trip to the ISS. Her trip to the ISS began with a Soyuz launch on September 1, 2015 and ended with her return to Earth on September 11, 2015. (Wikipedia Commons, The Space Review)
