Redbeard (Thanks to all who supported The Celery!))

Redbeard

Welcome to my home. The galley is in the back... it's stocked with a variety of food and beverages, including a full bar. Coffee is always freshly brewed.

The hatch is open and the steps are down, so come on in and make yourself at home!

Between now and 8 October, I won't be able to spend a lot of time here, because I'm performing in a production of The Grapes of Wrath, but I'll check messages on a regular basis.

Jean-Luc and Falstaff are my cats -- identical twins who are always on board. Both are fairly shy and usually spend a lot of time under the bed, or curled up in the warp coil (they love the warmth). You may see them peeking out of one of the windows sometimes.

Interesting h2g2 Activities

I've leased Hangar 15 at the h2g2 Space Centre for my ship and I'm the Document Procurer at the h2g2 Space-Farer's Cantina. If I'm not around here, you'll generally find me over at the Aroma Café, chatting with the regulars, playing scrabble with Ook and having a cup of Redbeard's Brew. I'm also a member of the Classic Goo Fan Club and H.R.A.S.C., as well as Loremaster of Continuity, serving Venerable One Asteroid Lil, Sage of Continuity.

IRL

In real life, I serve as Assistant Chair of the Theatre Department at Illinois State University as well as General Manager of the summer Illinois Shakespeare Festival in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois.

I am also a fine art photographer, focusing on photography of the human body through light and shadow as well as the use of the body as canvas for projections and bodypaint. My online gallery is TheLivingCanvas.com.

In addition to teaching courses in Theatre Management, I also teach some computer classes, including Photoshop, Quark, and beginning web page design. I have an online beginning HTML tutorial called Web Tricks.

• The War on Drugs (Makes the Vietnam war look like a good idea. Regardless of what you think of drugs, the war is a failure, and has been extremely destructive of life and liberty)
• Naturism (If we were meant to be nude, we'd have been born that way.)
• The Bill of Rights (The most important document for a free society, quickly crumbling.)
• Music (I've played the piano since I was seven, and now I plan to learn the musical saw!)
• Playing Four-Square(it's not just for 5th graders any more)
• Sci-Fi/Fantasy
