Over the years, streaming music has enabled me to explore artists whom I've known of but had never really listened to. This years discoveries for me have been Echo and the Bunnymen's _Ocean Rain_, the symphonies of Glenn Branca (especially 6 and 9), Chrome, and KMRU (a Kenyan electronic musician who has collaborated with Abul Mogard). I also listen with new appreciation to music I've neglected for a while; this year, it has been and still is Hüsker Dü.

I'm an historian of the European Middle Ages who teaches at a state university in the upper Midwest. I've also trained people with intellectual disabilities and worked in customer and technical support.

My partner and I were together for over 34 years until his death last year. I live with a dog and two cats, play DnD and other tabletop RPGs, and listen to a variety of mostly outré music.
