About meI'm a music librarian, church musician, Anglo-Catholic, amateur computer programmer, and gay man. I participate in Salon Tabletalk as Tegularius, on the Ship of Fools as Alogon. Like writers such as Morris Berman and Garrison Keillor, I believe that when liberalism and conservatism are well understood, they are more often complementary than opposed.

About my libraryThe most distinctive books in my library, of course, reflect these interests. These include a few scarce or even rare ones. I'm only beginning to build my Library Thing catalog. This project is going well so far, thanks to the fact that much of my library is already cataloged, either the old-fashioned way (on cards) or in a computer database system that I wrote myself (back in the late '80s when I was smarter than I am now).

In an ideal world (short of heaven, where of course they use the New Bliss classification :-) I classify and shelve my books in Dewey Decimal order. You should find it interesting to sort and browse my listings by the Dewey Decimal column. It's usually the only way I can ever find them!

You have an interesting collection. I, too, have an interest in old churches and once entertained the idea of living in one. I find their atmosphere to be rather unique and for the most part, serene. This spring, I had the good fortune to dine with Dr. h.c. Johannes Schreiter, of Langen, Germany, a world-renowned restorer of - and lecturer on - stained glass windows. Perhaps you know of his reputation? I hope to spend a few hours in his studio, when my mobility improves, and his schedule permits.

Best regards,
