Hello!  
I suppose the best way to describe myself is that I am a freethinker in a small, Western NY city. I registered today because I picked up the most recent copy of _Skeptical Inquirer_ at a local supermarket and saw that the Reason for Change Conference is being held in Buffalo, NY, which is about 100 miles from my town. I’m interested in attending, hence why I am here.

Welcome James. What are you skeptical about?

I was thinking about attending the conference as well, but the cost seems beyond my budget. ☹ I hope to be able to swing it.
