Nice Jewish boy, made from scratch with mostly natural ingredients, working on becoming new and improved, lowfat, and extra-strength. I'm 58, living in a suburb of Minneapolis with the love of my life (SUEGR98), our two amazing children, and Noah's Ark Lite: two rat terriers, two cats, two bunnies, and two bearded dragons. Currently I'm a stay-at-home dad, working part-time at a gas station/convenience store in our neighborhood, and putting the pieces in place to return to chaplaincy or a related field. After spending most of my life estranged from my body on one level or another, I am grateful to be alive, sober, relatively functional, and putting one foot in front of the other a day at a time.
