Pat,
I like that everything you write is so infused with your voice. Your bio reads smoothly. It seems like you carefully considered each part. Maybe it just rolled off the tongue but every piece of it from the title to the picture and caption work very well together. You have easy, natural humor in your writing and that’s a great thing. Good work.
