About Me I'm raising a family and trying to live in a good way in a world where nothing is as it seems. Things I dig include: simple living, natural fatherhood, attachment parenting, natural building, unassisted childbirth, bicycles, almost anything made by hand out of wood, composting (sawdust) toilets, organic and biodynamic gardening, herbal remedies, vegan peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, and the blues.
