Hey there Internet friend. Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Paul, aka ye olde kamper, and I run this here web log, or “blog,” if you will. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to make fun of things, and now with the wonder of the Internets, I can truly live my dream. I wrote a bit about the origins of this blog in Greetings from the Happy Valley, my first post. You can find it here.
I grew up in Northeast Ohio and currently reside in Amherst, Mass with my lovely and tolerant wife, two wonderful daughters, and a geriatric and increasingly daft cat whose plaintive cries in the night sound eerily human.
Your comments are always welcome. Leave one here or write to me at happyvalleynews AT yahoo.com.

Unibomber? You can expect to be getting a package soon. And Deliverance? Where do you think we are, Rootstown? Up here in Mass it’s not ’squeal like a pig,’ but rather ‘twitter like the gentle tufted titmouse.’ We’re much more sophisticated that way.
Good to hear from you.
