About meHowdy, thanks for stopping by to get to know me better. I live in the Denver metro with my beautiful fiance and daughter. I'm a cook by trade, working on becoming a chef by profession. I've always been a reader, always will be. As Marvin Mudrick says, "books are not life, but then what is?"

About my librarySlowly but surely growing, especially my professional library (what's a cook without cookbooks?). I read a lot of sci-fi, but I try to stay away from the trashier stuff. Clarke, Asimov, Pohl, that's how I roll. Not that I don't have a bunch of old David Drake future war and Bill the Galactic Hero novels (but those are quality trashy sci-fi novels, there is a difference :) If you're interested in cooking or trading recipes, give me a holler, or just say hi so I can have LibraryThing friends :)
