About meProne to enthusiasms....
I grew up in Kalamazoo, am a Vietnam vet, graduated from Macalester College, and have spent my adult life as a government bureaucrat. I've lived in our small town for nearly two decades. I'm the author/webmaster of A Fan's Guide to the Midwest League, which gets more or less daily maintenance, and the keeper of A Dabbler's Journal, to which I occasionally post stuff.
The photograph? Where the Rainbow Ends--Saint Ignace, Michigan.
About my libraryThere's a ton (possibly literally) of baseball reference material, many books devoted to Great Lakes history and tourism, computer books in various flavors, and a lot of science fiction. There are remnants of what once were fairly serious railroadiana and bicycling bookshelves. And I collect novels that resemble the Horatio Hornblower series. I tend to buy heavily on specific topics as things strike my fancy. Those infatuations, too, show here.
As the collections show, about twenty percent of these are Joan's (hers run to nature guides, mysteries, Tom Clancy-like books, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard Feynman). I inherited some of my parents' books; they're in the Mom collection. While there's some system to my tags, I'd never be mistaken for a systematic tagger.
Now that we can isolate them in collections, I'll be adding flicks and recordings to the listings.
I'm aging, and the house is small, so I've taken to selling books on eBay and Amazon. The decline resulting from those sales should outpace any purchases I'll make over the next few years.

Thanks for the connect! Kent Mathewson was a friend of mine during the time he and his wife lived in Austin.

In your list of Nautical fiction authors, I miss the names of Isaac Biddlecomb (James L. Nelson) and Alan Lewrie (Dewey Lambdin), but I assume that's because you got tired of typing :-) Also, Bernard Cornwell, although he writes more often of foot soldiers (Richard Sharpe / Sharpe's Rifles) has also written a couple of Sharpe novels with a nautical bias: "Sharpe's Trafalgar" and "Sharpe's Devil" I also have one novel by V. A. Stuart featuring Philip Horatio Hazard, called "Hazard's Command" I read it way back in 1987, but can't recall much about it. It was Vol. Three in the series.
