Welcome

Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.
―Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and other works
Errant Ruminant
. . . the official digital homestead of citizen Todd Warner
Welcome!
For the context of this website and this particular time in his life, Todd Warner is first and foremost a writer. But Todd, like all of us, has a broad set of interests that percolate throughout. Todd and his wife, Monica, live on and farm a small homestead in North Carolina (USA). When not chasing errant beasties and mending fences, they both serve as real estate brokers operating throughout the Raleigh-Durham region. Additionally, Todd continues to dabble in various technical (computer) projects, all the while striving to carve out some time to write. Alas, the writing often gets short shrift as he commonly finds himself distracted by the responsibilities associated with wide-open acreage, fitful weather, and, of course, errant ruminants.*
