1. n. A petty grammarian; a grammatical pedant or pretender.
I am a certified public accountant. I hold degrees in English and accounting from The University of Alabama. I am an instrument-rated commercial airplane pilot. I write. I travel. I take photographs. I dabble in music and art. I read voraciously, if a little pretentiously. I am fiercely left of liberal. I am both spiritual and skeptical. I live with my beautiful wife, my childhood sweetheart, in Birmingham. We share our house with a good little dog and a kitty cat.
The purpose of this weblog is self-expression. The topics are wildly scattered, and should be expected to vary from appropriately current to shallow and inane. It is a repository and an outlet — a public space for my private musings. I have long been nurturing an exhibitionist streak, and it is in that mode that I have come to enjoy the idea of sharing myself with the world in a passive way — one that will allow anyone who feels like learning more about me to discover my innermost thoughts. At the same time, none of those thoughts will be forced on anyone. There are many, many people who will disagree with me. They are as welcome to read and comment on my blog as people who agree with me on every point. But this is not intended as a space to spark or fuel arguments. In short, if anyone dislikes what is written here, you should consider yourselves perfectly free to navigate away and not visit my site ever again.
