| Introduction | Greg Levin is the guy your mother warned you about, a danger to himself and to others, a manic man on a mission, a lover of all people who love him, a devout secular humanist, a freestyle rapper, and, even more worrisome, a writer. Though a Northeasterner at heart, Greg and his wife Miranda currently bounce back and forth between two places: 1) Austin, Texas, where Greg is wanted by authorities for refusing to two-step; and 2) Puebla, Mexico, where Miranda is wanted by authorities for impersonating a Mexican. |
