“When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

#dogs, #atheist, grandpa, and a #geocacher.
 Add #introvert to the list, too.
#Wisconsin native. I love #flyfishing the spring creeks of the driftless area (always catch and release).
Pour-over #coffee with fresh roasted beans. The only way to go!

 I always follow back and boost often!

Blatantly, unabashedly pro-democracy. Ex-Michigan farmboy makin' it work since 1958 (born in 1953, but coasted for a few years). Proud and concerned father, grandfather, dog dad, and atheist. Emigrated from New Mexico high desert to New Jersey lake, spring 2022. Used to be a whitewater canoeist, now happy paddling a quiet lake. ClassicPress/WordPress developer; websites for real estate agents. I smoke a pipe, therefore I'm a philosopher. Oxford comma because I'm civilized.

I'm an #artist north of #Boston, MA telling stories about light and atmosphere with oil paints. I draw inspiration from the coastline, salt marshes, and forests, #painting places that are both remembered and imagined.

Currently working on seascape paintings, landscapes inspired by springtime walks in the woods, and my marshlands series.

As a lawyer-turned-artist, I'm also slowly defacing my law dictionary with charcoal sketches.
