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.
