Abstract:

I’m a curmudgeonly sort, born and raised in North Carolina, seasoned and somewhat traumatized by thirteen long years in San Francisco (and one summer in South Carolina).  I spent most of the 1990s in rather entertaining cloud of nicotine, booze, road trips, and random sex (some of which is documented on this very site). I spent the rest of my time working at Kinko’s, designing websites, and trying to avoid “gay culture”, whatever the hell that is. I’m now living back in my home state and working as a digital librarian at a large university.

I was coupled from 2001 through 2011. I no longer am. I still take road trips but I don’t smoke anymore and drink very rarely and minimally. I’ve largely given up on sex with other people, too. I write about old supermarkets and update my databases instead. I’ve become a trifle boring, perhaps, and I’m pretty comfortable with that

Basics:

• At A Glance: Most of what you need to know about me.
• Timeline: What happened when.
• Bio: Some narrative history.
• Pictures: I rarely smile for the camera.
