About Joel Achenbach

Humility being one of my core values I am loath to discuss my virtues other than to note that I am possibly America’s Greatest Blogger. The only thing holding me back, blogging-wise, is that I don’t like to write, or, frankly, communicate with other people in any way. "Deranged loner" is the condition to which I aspire. My idea of a good time is staring into space, pondering my hardscrabble upbringing on Hogtown Creek, and thinking of my first dog, Queenie. Supposedly she went to live on a farm, but I now suspect that it was a vicious lie.
