| Introduction | My mom once threw up her hands in exasperation and said "You'll do ANYTHING to go against the grain, won't you?" And I suppose that would appear to be the case, although I do what I do not simply to be different, but out of a deep sense of conviction and to remain true to myself. Here you can read my rambling thoughts about how and why I live as I do. |
