"A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion,
but doesn't."
Tom Waits
Now here's a thing: a renaissance bubba living in Oklahoma, winging along at an altitude somewhere between the bluebird of happiness and the chicken of depression. The Mallard of Discontent seeks refuge in random esoterica, finds sustenance in the joys of fishing; hunting, books, music, literature, travel, guns, gundogs, photography, lonely places, wildness, history, art, misanthropy, beer and the never-ending absurdity of life. Always and forever in search of things that don't suck.
Well worth a read this weekend. Welcome to doing it for free Chad.
