I like beer.
I currently contribute to ESPN, Baseball Think Factory, and the Perpetual Post. I also consult and on occasion, do pieces elsewhere.
I also like hot summer evenings, quiet romantic dinners, and long walks along the beach. Well, I don't like the heat and I'm not much of a romantic. I'm not too quiet and long walks are kind of boring. And I prefer to be in the water because I hate getting sand in all sorts of horrible places. But I do enjoy dinner and try to have it more than once a week.
My other interests other than the obvious include football, macroeconomics, military history, pro wrestling, classical music, indie rock, video games, surrealist art and people giving me money. As I'm a Gen-Xer, I'm never quite sure if I'm enjoying something literally or ironically.
I hope to one day become the first dictator of a micronation to have a fully-fledged army and to own a television so big that the materials used to fashion it cause a worldwide shortage in commodities.
