ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I figure it's only common courtesy to tell you a bit about myself.
 
    My first reaction when it came to assembling this page was, why the hell would anybody come here? What do they want to know, and what do I have to hide?

Oddly enough, this seems to be the most often visited page on the site. But then again, I almost always check out the "about" pages on most personal sites. But remember, curiosity killed el gato.

So the big news of late is my reverse migration, from the relatively moderate climes of San Francisco, to the hellish frozen wasteland that is known as Minnesota in Winter. To be perfectly honest, it hasn't been that bad. That may be because this is the warmest winter they've had since 1899, but I like to think it's because I'm so damn tough.

In any case, I did manage to become gainfully employed, after two lovely blissful months of abject unemployment. Probably the best stretch I've had to date, ending with a resounding thud as my friend Mark passed out while ringing in the new century. I started work at my new job on the first Monday of the new century.

Beyond that, there's not an awful lot to tell. The cats are fat and healthy, the heater works, and Solveig brings home fresh baked bread from work every so often. Life in Minnesota's not so bad.

So long,
