Personal

Jeff Noble: Louisville, Kentucky, United States; I am single. In 2010 I will be 50, a time for which I haven't fully planned. Close to officially converting from the Roman Catholic Church to the Episcopal Church, although my true belief is that of a Universalist and/or a Deist, with Unitarian tendencies, but not enough to belong to a Unitarian/Universalist church which I find a little too unstructured. Graduate of Prestonia Elementary, Durrett High, and Spalding University, the first two now-closed Jefferson County Public Schools, the latter a very small liberal arts college in downtown Louisville affiliated with the Roman Catholic Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

Or is it Eats, Shoots and Leaves? I was introduced to this book by Stuart Perelmuter. It concerns itself with, among other things, the proper placements of commas.
