Description
I was born, therefore I blog. I have a sense of the ridiculous and need an outlet for that. I can be serious too and love to write little stories about little known but important people and events. And I love wildlife and travel and will always try to share those experiences. I make things up (its called fiction) and laugh out loud when readers are duped into believing they are true. If you need to discuss a good conspiracy, let me know.
