Feb. 6th, 2026 08:44 pm1. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
It changed a number of times. My best answer was in 1st grade, when I said that I wanted to be either a teacher or a Ninja Turtle; one of those technically came true (guess which!). At various other points I wanted to be a doctor, cartoonist and pilot (primarily due to Disney's TaleSpin), and there were probably others.
2. What is your proudest accomplishment so far?
I was at the orpahnage until I was 18, then I got my job at the souvenir stand. Oh, and once I saw a blimp.
More seriously, I don't know. Teaching my first college level class was a big one. The most recent is that I found out that I'm in the acknowledgements of the upcoming biography of the man whose house is now the museum I've worked in for 24 years, so after so long it's nice to have that strange connection I have to a person that died 83 years before I was born immortalized.
3. What is your dream job?
Hermit sage. I could do pretty much whatever I want, and occasionally a traveler comes to partake in my wisdom.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I don't really even want to think about it, but hopefully still teaching in some capacity.
5. What does it take to make you happy?
A good night's sleep, a pizza, a glass of port, cat or two, and something good to pass the time, not necessarily in that order.
