About Thomas...
I live in North Carolina with my wife of twenty years and five children, the youngest of whom is ten, three cats, Arthur and Merlin, and the youngest, Ralphie. I am obsessed with islands and microstates, even if this is only in my mind. I enjoy doing logic puzzles and recreational mathematics. I watch the Word's Strongest Man competition. I like pictures of carnival giants and I collect pressed, elongated, souvenir pennies wherever I see them. I love learning languages. I am studying to become a sign language interpreter. Although I am pretty fluent only in languages I listed, it would be a joy for me to fumble through a letter written in your mother tongue. If you are not offended by my feeble attempt, I would be happy to write you in similar fashion. PS--Did I mention that I love food? A postcard with recipes for your national dishes would be cool, if you have one. I have no other preferences for postcards, but please send one that would be appropriate for a child to receive. PSS--My kindergarten class photograph was trendy, no? My wife thinks reading glasses are fashionable!
