Blogging is one of the most self-indulgent pastimes, and this one is no exception.  Despite everything else I do and like, including my career, I still believe myself to be, first and foremost, a writer.  This blog is about my writing.  Well, it’s more than that. It’s about my endless opinions.

I write about things that matter to me.  I love animals.  I love them more than many people I have known. I love children, especially my own, and I also love my family and my friends.  I love nature, wildlife and the blessed experience we have been gifted on this wondrous planet.  I love photography.  I love cooking, exercise, and nutrition.  I love words and languages and reading.  And I think people should spend more time thinking about things that matter.

I think internal human events are more interesting and important than external events.

I hate liars. I hate cruelty. I hate injustices. I hate hypocrisy.  I hate being taken for granted.  I think we all hate these things, so I write about them, too.

I have a deplorable excess of opinions.  If I blog them, you can always choose not to read.
