Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

One of the recipients of the 2006 Times persons of the year. My greatest accomplishment was watching all the episodes of The Twilight Zone. Like to tell people I read War and Peace to sound smart, but really only read the Wikipedia article (and truth be told I couldn't really follow that). It is my hope to one day visit both Narnia and Wakanda
