About Me

I imagine myself chiefly as a social critic--and conveniently handicapped by egotism, vanity, and madness, G-d licenses narrowly to this occupation... I offer that in half-jest; what I admit is that I am honest, but I am not obvious...that is, you have to try to understand me. If you know me, you may be a stranger to my writing. If you read me regularly but do not know me, I presume that you would wish to avoid me, as mu opinions inconvenience life, other people's feelings, etc...Other interests I have include being irresponsible with my money, health, and time--oh, and judging people by metrics which should disqualify any of my suppositions...

My Blog
