Hi!
I’m an Alabama native, “American by birth, Southern by the grace of God”, but I’m not a stereotypical Southerner.
- I don’t care about fishing, hunting, Nascar, or even football — though I root for the Crimson Tide.
- I love grits, catfish, cornbread dressing, and barbecue (that means pig!) — but I don’t eat collard greens or chitlings (yes, I’ve tried them!)
- Most people from other parts of the country have said I don’t sound as if I’m from the South — Southerners know I am, but maybe can’t quite say from which area.
I’ve lived in 5 other US states. I’ve visited all 49 continental states, and 5 other countries. Besides my native American English, I speak some Spanish. I’ve also studied Latin and German (though they’re rusty now), and I learned some Brazilian Portuguese before a short-term mission trip there.
I have many interests, not all of which are yet discussed on this site. It’s a work in progress, like life itself, so visit from time to time and see what’s changed.
