About me...

Muser.  Warrior Poet.  Loser of poker.  These are all fairly apt descriptions.  I am from a bucolic hamlet (read: small town) in northern Minnesota (Aitkin).  But, my quest for mirth and employment took me far from that tiny enclave... I attended college in St Paul, MN on an Air Force ROTC scholarship.  The lure of employment and flight was exactly what I had been seeking... the recruiter was decidedly quiet when I asked about prospects of mirth, but I've been able to inject bits here and there, where not strictly outlawed by the UCMJ.  I have now been flying for the Air Force for over 9 years, in C-17 cargo jets and a tour in unmanned RQ-4A/B reconnaissance aircraft.  Life currently has me living happily in Sacramento, CA...
