| Introduction | I have no idea what to put here. Let's see. Evangelical Christian, Libertianesque, intellectual, single, happy for the most part. I have unusual friends, like John Cowart (www.cowart.info). I'm a theologian by education, also a Registered Nurse --I work in Critical Care, I'm a printer by trade and made my living in the printing trade for about 30 years. I taught Classical Greek one year. When I was young I trained as a musician with principal instrument being classical voice. I have seven adopted sons, all but one is grown, four granddaughters, one of whom died in 2006 of ovarian cancer at age 17, and a new great-granddaughter, and I'm an all-round great guy! (Some people disagree with this last assessment.) |
