My name is Chuck and I'm a 40-ish yankee liberal. I am an Atheist Humanist, registered Democrat, bird watcher, music and poetry lover, collector of various things (currently license plates), and owner of a gorgeous 2003 PT Cruiser GT which I have nicknamed "Vanessa".
Most importantly I am a husband to my wonderful wife Patty and a father to my amazing kid Lynnea.
