About Me

I am Greg, sometimes even Gregory in my more contemplative moments. It is not always easy to identify the qualities of Greg, so I have created just a few: gregorgeous... gregalicious... gregacious... gregabop... gregapoo... gregapoopoo... gregarious... Many of my friends, especially the wee ones who are devote gregaphiles often experience immediate gregaphoria after gregaphonic exposure. However there are some gregaphobes out there which is a natural reaction to greggopopulaire, so don't be gregrey when you should be gregable. We all have the gregability! So, while some of you will live among the ungreg and some will not be able to resist the tide of the inevitable antigregestablishmentatarism, I would recall the illustriouse lyrics of the Beatles, "All you need is Greg. Gred is all you need."
