| Bio: | I am one or more of the following: married; (finally) a college graduate; a punk-rock economist-in-training (next stop: grad school!); a public policy wonk; a sysadmin and impromptu IT guy; a breakfast-chaser par excellence; a recovering metalhead; living in Pittsburgh.
I read more than I write. This has become more true since returning to school. Keep that in mind if you add me.
It is a sin not to know why you are sinning. Pointless sin must be avoided. -- Edward Leamer |
