[edit] About me

My first logged-in edit to Wikipedia was on 6 April, 2004. I was made a Wikipedia administrator on 4 September, 2005. I am living in Somerville, Massachusetts and I have a digital camera, and I love wandering around the city, so if you need a picture of anything in the Boston area, let me know. -- Beland (talk) 23:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
