Hi. I'm Tim Kieschnick. I live in the San Francisco Bay area with my wife, my 11 year-old daughter, a dog, and however many of my tropical fish have not yet succumbed to my spotty maintenance habits.<br><br>I play several musical instruments and write songs, mostly in the folk/blues/roots tradition, which seems to be a theme for this reading group. Maybe after Homer we can swap songs.<br>
<br>In between reading the Odyssey, I'll be working on Kaiser Permanente's <a href="http://kp.org">web site </a>and building a tiny cottage in my back yard. I last read the Odyssey in college in 1976. I'm re-reading it on my newest toy, a Kindle, which I won in an <a href="http://humanfactors.com/home/WUD2009.asp">essay contest </a>(how cool is that?!).<br>
<br>I've got a potentially very stressful meeting just prior to our discussion tomorrow, so I may show up late and frazzled, but I'm really looking forward to meeting y'all and sharing the epic together.<br><br>
