I guess I'm a little late to this party. I hope everyone hasn't gone "home" and I'm the only one left in the room!

Like others, I'm a voracious reader with an insatiable appetite for non-fiction--politics, history and neuroscience being among but not limited to my list of favorite subjects. Even looking up a word in the dictionary can become a delightful hour long reading excursion for me.

That said, I hope you all haven't been so traumatized by the imposter in the White House, that staying informed with current events has left you too exhausted to read for pleasure.

Saying "Hi" anyway, just to be sure.
