I am a self proclaimed writer in my early 30’s that has a multitude of interests, but an alarming scarcity of general proficiencies. I have an extremely adequate wife and two relatively decent children that provide me with a remarkably livable life and a reasonable amount of happiness. I also happen to be a voracious fan of the Dallas Cowboys (and a general homer for all DFW teams) and enjoy flippantly and brashly opining on a variety of topics. jefffederspiel.blogspot.com
