A warm welcome to me . . .

Thanks, everyone, for allowing me to sporadically bore you all to death with half-remembered news items, three-years-too-late website discoveries, and my insipid taste in music. My dedicated lurking at this site and feigned tolerance of Dave's Costello anecdotes have finally paid off! By way of introduction to non-Dave bastards, I am in my late thirties, live in Washington, DC with a tolerant wife and three-legged dog, and my hobbies include recycling beer bottles, bathtub gin, and dividing my time between tattered leatherette recliners. I look forward to wasting some of your time.
