About

Sometimes there are things I want to address, but outside the context of UDoJ. I’ve been thinking about setting up a separate blog for that.

Here it is.

I suppose instead of just writing this damned post out, I’ll let it evolve. (I’m a highly skilled procrastinator.)

About FCD…

FCD stands for “Friend of Charles Darwin”, an appellation you too can aquire, just by going here and following the directions.

About me…

First of all, I was going to say that I’m the author of U Dream Of Janie and Kissing Corporal Kate. But the truth is the girls have taken on such a life of their own that I’m really just the secretary that takes dictation.

In the meatoverse, I’m disabled. I wrecked my neck in a fall at work back a few years ago, and I’ve been a fairly useless lump since then.

I’ve got a lovely second wife (who also happens to be my first wife). She’s the lucky lady who gets to listen to me snore, gets kicked out of bed because I can’t sleep well and I toss and turn, and puts up with all my whining about my neck, back, arms, and legs that never work the way they’re supposed to.

We were married the first time back in the late ’80s. We were way too young to be goin’ around all married and crap. We wound up divorced in the mid ’90s, though we remained best friends. Fortunately for me, sometime around the turn of the millennium she realized the error of her ways, and knew she just couldn’t live without me. So we reunited, and after much begging, I agreed to marry her again.

(Alright, this is MY blog and I can remember things any way I want, reality be damned.)

Two great kids from the first time we were married. Their idea of a good time is trying to see who can make me insane the fastest. They’re rather accomplished in that regard.

We’ve got a fairly recent addition to our little family who seems to have a foot fetish. Shakespeare is his name, and chewing any type of footwear is his game. Born in mid-July 2006, he’s a Golden Retriever, and he’s a handful to keep up with. It’s like having a toddler in the house again. Pain in my butt. Good thing I like him.

I wrote the following over at BlueNC and figured it would fit well here:

I’m an outspoken atheist, I have no use for abstinence only sex “education”, I’m vehemently in favor of equal marriage rights for the GLBT community, I moderate an anti-anti-science forum (After the Bar Closes, the forum associated with The Panda’s Thumb) and the first time a creationist tries to mess with my kids’ science education they’re going to hear me all the way in Siberia.

I tend to speak frankly, and I don’t abide theocrats quietly. I use offensive language when it’s useful, and I have been known to write pornographic stories under an openly secret pseudonym (two, actually).

I’ve been told I’m somewhere left of nutso. (I think that was a humorous exaggeration.) I have exactly zero elected experience. I was born and raised in Philly and moved here four years ago.

About this blog…

Like this post, I suppose I’ll just let the blog evolve. I’m kinda shootin’ for a more mellow tone here than at UDoJ or KCK, but we’ll see what happens.

Bah, it is what it is.

Cheers.
