As if to demonstrate to me that God has a plan for everyone, He took me from a life I barely recall and placed me in a new one. I'm now a 38-year-old man with a beautiful wife, three cool and scarily intelligent stepchildren, and an actual real job writing. I also get to indulge my passion for music by dealing in vintage vinyl online and writing a column for Playlist, a local arts monthly. Life goes where it goes.
