I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

We went to Mongolia last October for the Golden Eagle Festival as well as a couple of days of hunting with eagles. It was a great trip. The throat-singing and the musicians are most definitely well-deserving of renown.
Wow, you still read my blog? Thanks for the mention of throat singing. I neglected to call attention to it, though I'd intended to inform my readers.

Maybe it's just a habit. And possibly a bad one at that. Right? But of course I still read your blog!
Well, thanks for the loyalty. I hope my blogging has been entertaining. Possibly my various other writings, too?

Yes and Yes. Please keep up the good and entertaining work.
So, you've read the BBB, I gather. If you haven't already given that book five stars, feel free to do so (if that's how high you'd rank it).
