My username, Spiffy Sperry, was bestowed to me by a lovely elementary school teacher. (Or maybe it was bestowed to one or more of my brothers. Who really knows; memories are foggy.)
My interests include astronomy a, climate change, and my own genealogy b. Also I am a semi-avid runner, having completed two Chicago Marathons.
Notable events (by Wiki standards) which I lived through, experienced, or participated in:
^Note a : Currently using a 3-inch, f/9.2 Bushnell Nova reflector with 20mm, 10mm, and 6.3mm eyepieces. For those unfamiliar with these numbers, it means I'm more of a reader than a looker.
^Note b : I've recorded over 3900 individuals, so far.
^Note c : 2001 - 4:11:14, 13,113th place (not in official stats, see advice above); 2002 - 4:07:46, 13,403th place
