Middle age software guy who dabbles in photography, cartooning, calligraphy, and anti-Trump invective on the side. Father of a teenager whose welfare comes before all else. Enthusiastic and unrepentant dog person. Possessor of both a solid vocabulary and well-aimed snark. Scientific thinker with nothing but well-earned contempt for unscientific "alt-medicine," its practitioners (a.k.a., scammers) and its adherents. Fond of all forms of music except the formulaic.
