A random list of other things about me...

  • I'm a clarinetist (especially contra-alto), a saxophonist (especially tenor), and a beginning trumpet student.
  • I'm a devoted Trekkie: Disco > TNG > Voy > DS9 > TOS > Picard > Enterprise. (I've never actually watched Enterprise.)
  • Tha rud beag Gaidhlig agam agus tha mi ag ionnsachadh.
  • I'm a 5th-generation Chinese American with ancestors who were born in San Francisco in the late 1800s.

  • Most of my recent/living family members are from California. I was raised in snowy Flagstaff, Arizona.

"Without something to belong to, we have no stable self, and yet total commitment and attachment to any social unity implies a kind of selflessness. Our sense of being a person can come from being drawn into a wider social unit; our sense of selfhood can arise through the little ways in which we resist the pull.  Our status is backed by the solid building of the world, while our sense of personal identity often resides in the cracks." 
​-- Goffman 1961, Asylums, p.250
