Hi, I’m G. Father, husband, feminist, ally, skeptic, blogger, book reader, geek. Always sarcastic, imperfect, and too cheeky for his own good. He/him. 🏴
I’ve been blogging since 1999; you can check out some of my best musings to get started, or scroll down for the latest musing (longer), or latest notes (shorter posts).

The person I thought I was
I occasionally read my own blog. I’m not sure why. It’s either a perfectly reasonable act of reflection or a deeply questionable way to spend an afternoon.

I’ve always loved rock music. I’ve always loved a hint of tongue-in-cheek silliness. I’ve always loved Queen. And yeah, I’ll admit it, I’ve always… Read »

A night in Edinburgh
For the past few years my mate Keith has worked in Edinburgh producing the lighting for the Military Tattoo. I’ve never managed to get across to see him, or any of the Edinburgh Festival before, until yesterday. He gets accommodation for the few weeks he is there, and as luck would have it there was… Read »
