About Me
I generally hate writing bios, so I’ll give you some random bullet points instead.
- I was branded a “gifted kid” in 3rd grade and never really recovered from it. My childhood was, to put it gently, traumatic.
- I’m a veteran of the US Air Force (medic) who served under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and later challenged it when I came out to my commanding officer and was discharged. To this day, my DD-214 lists the reason for discharge as “Homosexual Admission”. I testified against the policy that was finally repealed in 2011.
- I have been in sustained abstinent recovery from cocaine use since Valentine’s Day 1996.
- I have two food-related allergies: aspartame and ginger.
- I am an extroverted introvert in that I enjoy people, but need quiet time to recharge.
- Random junk foods I like include caramel, Dr. Pepper, Reese’s, Bubble Gum Jelly Belly jellybeans
- Here are a few photos while I work on adding more.
