The Decatur Navigator is a blog focusing on the issues of Decatur, Illinois – plus other things I happen to find interesting – which could be about anything! I am a life-long resident of Decatur, tree hugger, and history buff. I try not to take things too seriously, so hopefully, you’ll get a laugh here and there. I enjoy writing, traveling, nature and photography. I have two kids who attend Decatur Public Schools, two dogs, two fish and one cat. The cat is the boss of the house, of course.

- Indiana Jones 1 and 3 (What is it with second movies?)

Books:
- I read mostly historical non-fiction. Yes I am THAT exciting! My favorite subjects are: Abraham Lincoln and ancient civilizations. If I do read fiction, it’s usually based on historical subjects.
Television:
- The History Channel, Discovery Channel.
- Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel. I could watch her vacation in a hole in the ground and still find her entertaining.
- Little House on the Prairie (On every channel in the world twelve times a day!) – I’ve watched every single episode at least 500 times but still enjoy it. They just don’t make shows like that anymore.
- Netflix – I don’t know why we pay for cable. I usually wind up watching old tv shows and movies on Netflix.
- Ghost Hunters, Ancient Aliens, Decoded and other guilty pleasures.
- WAY TOO MUCH cable news.
Other extremely important facts about me:
