Halfway through his fourth decade of life, Patrick gave up his poorly feigned pretenses of normalcy to take up the mantle of vagabond, a Honda Shadow his grumbling liberator and co-conspirator. In addition to blogging, Patrick edits and experiments with designing tabletop roleplaying games, and writes fiction and creative nonfiction from wheresoever he happens to find himself, whether cozily cocooned within his hammock-tent, sprawled gratefully on a stranger’s couch, or sipping a chilled beer in a quiet corner of a dusty roadside tavern.
