Several writers have pen names that they use when they write books or other pieces, and several well-known actors use names that are not their birthnames.  Stephen King published several books under the name Richard Bachman, and the writer Nick Catoggio, who writes at the conservative anti-trump website The Dispatch, wrote a blog for years under the name “allahpundit”.  I have had many nicknames over the years, from Snackman, Bmoney, to Gangster T.  But my all-time favorite nickname is what my 10^th grade English teacher called me: Grodence Paquado.  It is original and brilliant.  So in the spirit of pen names, the blog will be written under the name Grodence Paquado.

Brandon Grody aka Grodence Paquado is a 35 year old man who lives happily in Windsor, Connecticut with his lovely cat Speitz. He writes this blog as a hobby to put his thoughts to paper (virtually), and gets a joy out of publishing posts and getting views. He usually posts every few weeks, but sometimes will publish pieces more often or a little less often depending on extenuating circumstances.
