About Me

I started as a zygote of some sort. I am a result of massive cell divisions formed 9 months before I was born on December 12th. I am very fond of fried eggs, good coffee, and am fondest of my son and wife and my friends and God and small miracles AND: BIG ones too. Big ones are rare, so the small ones must be observed and cherished. I take humor very seriously. I operate a bass guitar from time to time. I really like it when I get to do what I want to do, which is most of the time these days. I kill wasps. The bugs, not the uptight people. At some point my cell division service will start to lose quality control and I will cease to exist in a corporeal form. But, I will have been somewhere, made a difference in my son's life, loved my wife, my church, my God, my friends, my bass students among other things. I sometimes wait an inordinate amount of time for someone to address me as "Seismosaurus". It never happens.
