About me

Well, what can I say? I use the name Farmer Bob, because I am a farmer. A rather unexpected event in my life, but still a fact. Once I was a software developer. I quit that to write. The universe didn't seem to agree, and my wife and I inherited a farm. Actually, it's not just ours, other members of her family have a share. However, none of them wanted to move back here and run it. I, a non-voting member, got elected :) It's been a fabulous learning experience, and good exercise.

While I really don't like talking about myself, I'll try.

I just turned 50, which has it's good and bad points. Mostly bad ;) Body parts I never knew I had, are demanding attention, and I take enough pills every morning to constitute breakfast. On the other hand, I've had time to accumulate a large amount of trivial knowledge, and the brass tacks to be willing to share it.

I live just outside of Memphis, Tn., home of The King. That makes me about as Southern as one can be, and I treasure it. I am the house chef and a devoted fan of all things barbecue. I smoke too much (cigars) and I drink too much (Scotch), at least according to my doctor ;)

I will close by saying that I am astonished that anyone would care to read this, and tickled that anyone would enjoy reading what I write.

Thanks,
Farmer Bob

In this context, one has to keep in mind that it is not the existence of a religious text, but the person to person exchange of religious ideas that powers a supernaturally based movement. It could easily...
