Bennett K.

Temporary Tucsonan, from Chicago by way of New Orleans. Scientist. Proof that nice guys do get the girl. Overeducated, overfed, over-opinionated, overly open-minded, over one billion billion billion atoms, and "overly critical" says everyone else but me. Underpaid, usually underwhelmed, under pressure, and undermedicated for allergies. Around five-eight, around a buck ninety five and dropping, around Campbell and Fort Lowell, around done with a doctorate, around more than I should or I'd be done already. Through Internet writing, through Kodachrome 64, through late-night pencil pushing, through experiments with lasers and microscopes, through cooking with love, through market mechanisms, through good humor and charity, and through with catankerous dullards and ideologues who used to waste my time. And yes, I'm the guy who 'blogs on Goldwater State.
