rac·on·teur
/ˌräˌkänˈtər/ noun noun: raconteur; plural noun: raconteurs, a person who tells anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way.
When trying to come up with a “one word” title for this section. Raconteur seemed fitting. Like most of us we all are don’t live our lives by one single aspect, we are multi-facet people who have a wide range of knowledge, interests, and intellect on a multiple ray of subjects. At least that is true for me. This noun was the best wordsmith I could find that described this.
I hope you find the content of what I’m sharing to not only be skillful but it also amuses you in a positive way. I’m filled with some useful and well as some useless knowledge and I want to share it all with you.
I could not pinpoint one aspect of my life I soley wanted to share; I wanted to share it all. And that is what is going to happen here. You see a bunch of sub-categories to help you navigate through my site.
