About Me

I make my own bread, butter, kim chee, creme fraiche, buttermilk, dinner. Some day I hope to be really good at cooking, eating, and feeding. My son who is five years old never likes what I make. Even though I've never been fired from a job, I do have the distinct honor of being fired from a noise band. Beat that! I don't really play music any more but who knows...maybe someday. My loud radical days may or may not be over. I like my humor dark and have a special penchant for the absurd and ridiculous. You ask what is the difference between the absurd and the ridiculous? While absurdity is often ridiculous, the ridiculous is not necessarily absurd. Ridiculousness has no sublime quality but the absurd is cradled in sublimity. I like both. Self effacing. Scrupulous. Hard working. Living proof that good guys finish last. Yes, believe it or not, I am one of the good guys.
