contrary to popular opinion I am a MAN… not only a man, but a Manly Man! I drink beer… watch football… like guns, and trucks, Spiketv… None of which actually proves male-ness… but I also got wedding tackle… and that clinches it. MAN! ---

Nah, I can’t tell you; I just love not knowing if people are male or female (99% of the time, they are). I even use ‘spouse’. Gender non-specific, and proud of it. ---
