About meRetired I/T professional.   Sometime marksmanship instructor and once and future match competitor.   Coffee junkie; Cheetos-monster.   Intransigent (but not militant) anti-Marxist.

About my libraryPretty small compared to some others on LT, but it still takes up an inordinate amount of space in my house . . . Although I've been lazy about those computer books, I try to keep it pruned: I'll grab just about anything that looks even remotely interesting, but if it disappoints it's donated to the local library; what's left over is everything I want (so far) and nothing that I don't. Except for some things tagged "Legacy" and "Gifts", and recent acquisitions, I've read everything at least once (but not necessarily recently); anything tagged "R.A." is something that's new and still unfinished.

Recent Discoveries:
     The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
     A Mencken Chrestomathy
