About the Author

I started writing this "about the author" page in third person--you know, "The author is a thirtysomething father of two. He lives in a suburb of Georgia," etc.--but then realized how stupid that sounded.

But even without that nonsense, I still can't get the "stupid" out of this page. Everything I write comes out goofy.

In the end, I think any effort to be overly clever would just make me seem like more of a jackass. And as I don't want every ex-girlfriend to use this page as justification to say, "See, I knew he was a complete tool," I think I'll just keep things as simple as possible.

• My name's Bill.
• I'm in my mid-thirties.
• I live on the outskirts of Atlanta, GA, with my wife and two beautiful daughters.
• I'm originally from Mishawaka, Indiana, which is sort of a suburb of South Bend.
• I majored in English at IU Bloomington, but I root for my hometown Fighting Irish in football.
• I have a dog, a cat, and a fish (the fish lives on my desk at work).
• I work as a website editor for a couple of major cable television networks.
• I play volleyball and soccer for fun, but neither as well as I used to, thanks to my fatness.
• I love video games, but I don't play them as often now that we have kids.
• I collect comics, and have since I was nine (not counting college, when I gave them up in favor of girls).
• I love all movies, though I have a special weakness for cheesy horror films.
• I watch too much TV, but it is what pays the bills.
• I'm trying to read more.
• I have a good life, but I still complain whenever possible.

That's really all I can think of. If you want to know more, just email me.
