Bio

Father, Husband, Reader, Writer, Lawyer and Banker. For the record, I'm not crazy. I have a dog named Cannonball. He is an 85 pound black standard poodle. He is KBall for short. His smaller sister is Penny. I like my privacy. I want to write about things that matter to me without attribution. I have a job that I like and my company would not want my opinions to upset my clients. I am a liberal democrat that is fed up with politicians that only want to keep their jobs and their power. I am not just an athiest, I am an ex-catholic. There is no god. We are mammals and prove that fact every day. The earth will be better off when we are extinct. Someday, very soon by any relative measurement of time, I will be ashes, a nutrient for the soil. Only my descendants will remember me, and only for a generation or so. In fifty thousand years, the earth will begin to heal itself from our largess, once the last of us have fallen or escaped the planet. It matters to me that no one reads my blog. I would like an audience of appreciative fans who challenge me and call me on my bullshit. But that is not likely to happen. I am not a nihilist. I have a son. If you have a child, you can't pretend you don't care about society, politics, religion, history, science, injustice, intolerance, war, famine and disease. You have to care because you care about your child. So even though, he too, will die and be nothing very soon, I want things for him, many, many things. I love and cherish my son, my wife, my reputation, my career, our health, and my dogs (not always in that order). I care about children who suffer, preserving nature, peace in all its forms, tolerance of our many differences, and learning as much as I can about everything. I realize that my embrace of mortality and impermanance means that no effort of humanity endures. No matter. My moral belief is in our duty toward our planet and each other. I am happiest when I lift another up or preserve or appreciate joy and beauty. And my happiness from these things spreads to others. It doesn't last, so I keep at it, everyday. At the end of my time, what little there is, no one will soon recall me or what I did, good and bad, and that's okay by me as long as I know I am doing my best with what I am and what time I have. In the end, I am the only judge that matters and my final verdict is lost with me anyway.
