Below are some photos that offer a glimpse into my hobbies: hiking, traveling, and photography (including drone photography)--especially of my partner, Rebekah, and my beloved, wild canine children, Sadie and Kona, who were featured on the Philosodogs blog several years ago. The one painting here, by Helen De Cruz, is based on a photo of me posing with pigeons in Milan, which she then creatively used as a template for her painting of Saint Francis of Assisi. Most of the photos were taken in the great Pacific Northwest, our home for four years.

I am an avid consumer of hot sauces (particularly those featured on Heatonist and debuted on First We Feast's Hot Ones show) and science fiction. I'm also a two-time, self-declared #PaquiOneChipChallenge champion. You can see my most recent hot sauce purchases below. As for what I'm reading, I'm halfway through Octavia E. Butler's Kindred (Doubleday, 1979) and have just started Anya Plutynski's Explaining Cancer: Finding Order in Disorder (OUP, 2018). Recently, I finished Liu Cixin's Supernova Era (Tom Doherty Associates, 2004), A People's Future of the United States: Speculative Fiction from 25 Extraordinary Writers (One World, 2019), and Steve Brusatte's The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of Their Lost World (William Morrow, 2018).
