My name is Michael. I’m a mid-life crisis in process, pulling to reclaim my wild youth, pushing to stay ahead of my impending age. I’m a Unix admin by trade, living a life interrupted by work because that’s always the way it is these days.
This is a place to collect my thoughts, write recipes, post poetry, and the other things I want to do in a public space. Some of it might be introspective. I doubt any of it will be pithy.

A Place for My Stuff 
Thank you so much for the Jason Isbell mention on Scalzi’s page a few days ago. I’d never heard him, and now I’ve got his new album and am listening to in a state of awe. We only get a few poets / songwriters like this each generation, and here’s one of ours. 🙂
