About

 

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.

Favorite Movies:

  • Shrek 1, 2, 3…
  • Back to the Future 1 and 3 (The second one, eh…)
  • Indiana Jones 1 and 3 (What is it with second movies?)
  • Anything with Katharine Hepburn
  • Gone with the Wind
  • The Mummy (Modern version)

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:

  • I prefer Pepsi over Coke
  • Cardinals over Cubs
  • Democrat over Republican
  • Chevy over Ford
  • Munsters over The Adams Family
  • Mary Ann over Ginger
  • Cheese Toastie over Grilled Cheese
