Hi. My name is Danny Novo. Okay, not exactly. But close enough. I’m a white male, about 6’2″. I was born and grew up over­seas, and came to the U.S. for col­lege. I lived on the East Coast for seven years, and then moved to the Mid­west, where I now live. I am mar­ried, and a father of two boys, who are both the love and frus­tra­tion of my life. I apol­o­gize if I am being vague, but I really think y’all should be read­ing the blog to glean inter­est­ing details about my life, no?

No, huh?

Okay, then here are some tid­bits. I have three older sis­ters, but was essen­tially an only child, being born five years after the youngest girl. When she went off to col­lege, I was just hit­ting my stride as a teenager. It explains a lot about me. What else? I did not kiss a girl until I was sev­en­teen, at (roll the drums please) my Senior Prom. Ack. That doesn’t explain as much about me as you might think. I wear an ear­ring. Just one. That doesn’t actu­ally say any­thing about me at all, except there’s a funny story about when I got my ear pierced, at a Claire’s at the Oakview Mall in Omaha, Nebraska. I was sit­ting in the chair, and the fifteen-year-old girl work­ing there was get­ting the pierc­ing device ready, and a woman and her eight-year-old daugh­ter came up and she asked me if they could watch, because her daugh­ter was a lit­tle scared to get her ears pierced. And it went from no big deal (for me) to a com­mand per­for­mance to show no fear and assure this lit­tle girl that every­thing was all right.

Sat­is­fied? Okay. Enjoy the blog. Want to write? danny @ this domain.
