Introduction

This is a blog?

I can write whatever I want?

Even if I want to say politically inaccurate things?

Good.

First some basics:

I am Alan Bensley Borer. 46 years old. Resident of Westerville, Ohio. One wife, one son. Survivor of a Traumatic Brain Injury (July, 2001). Amateur historian. Environmentalist. Stamp collector. Appreciating classical music, nature, comics, being alive. Free-thinking Catholic. Trying, not always with success, to be a good father while being handicapped. Seriously worried about global warming and other environmental issues. Not particularly happy, but getting by.
