Bio

I've been a research scientist (astronomer), data wrangler, web master, and who knows what's coming next.

These days I'm into bowling (PBA Experience level, and USBC Level I coach), and mostly nesting at home. I've become quite the LOST addict...

My partner passed away almost a year ago - we were together almost 17 years.

I don't feel middle-aged, though I suppose there aren't THAT many 92 year olds out there.

Ex-astronomer, bowling enthusiast, data addict. Trying to figure out how to relaunch life at 46. Short, balding, furry, thinner than I used to be (esp. on the top of my head).
Strengths: Observational skills, analytical skills... Adept at picking off some splits (even the 4-6, but not the 7-10 - at least not yet).
Weaknesses: Do not suffer fools gladly. Dark chocolate. Bright shiny things.
Special Skills: I'm good at sizing up people. I can tell when they're not being entirely honest with me.
Weapons: Detection of systemic weaknesses in over-blown systems. Can mess with a competitor's shot by moving the lane oil on them...
Places I Want to Visit: Alaska (but not Wasilla), Budapest (For longer than a weekend), Prague, Tuscany, Naples, Newfoundland, any place south of 30° South latitude so I can finally see the Southern sky, Antarctica (but only if I get to bowl at McMurdo), New Zealand.
