This is a very typical view of a Louisiana marsh: swamp daisies on the floor and Spanish moss hanging all over the trees.

Whenever I see a photo like this I inevitably wonder why the Addams Family isn't set in the south. This should be their backyard.

If you stare at this I swear you can hear Swamp Thing wrestling a giant anaconda just out of sight behind the trees.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
