The Author

I am someone that has lived a rather unusual life, and one who feels that folks should not be tossing out all of the Christian biblical traditions because somebody else said to. Toss some practices, yes, and unbiblical traditions, probably, but all, no. They have been around a long, long time for a reason.

I grew up in some of these traditions, left them as a young adult, returned in middle age, left again, and returned again yet later as a senior. I like to check things out, although I don’t particularly recommend the path I followed.

I also have an interest and background in science, dating back to first grade if I remember right (that was a while ago, 1956-7), but little faith in science. At least not any longer. Technically, I am an applied scientist with a degree in Computer Science, but I am not into artificial intelligence (although I did study it, briefly, in 1968) and I am no advocate for the advancement of science and technology. Quite the contrary.

I still write using a “handle”, but I am Megan Brooks (it’s in my bio here) and my identity is no deep secret. I do sometimes say things that the “authorities” might not care for (along with a lot that they could care less about), but I prefer to leave most of the heavy-duty “anti-narrative” rhetoric to other authors. My “like” policy here on Substack is to click “like” if I like something for one reason or another. That doesn’t mean I agree with it.

You can reach me by email at “clearmiddle [at] far2go [dot] net”, which is a Proton Mail address in disguise. I have others, but using that one lets me know you are calling from Substack.

See my profile for a few more details.

About Far2go.net

I created the far2go.net domain a couple of decades ago (I forget exactly when it was) during a particularly difficult time in my life. The name was something that popped into my head while I was trying to think of one. Somehow, it fit. It still does. The site has gone through several transitions, and at present simply points to my Substack, saving me the trouble of having to defend it against Internet chaos.

Anthems

Videos of my choir’s anthems, along with comments. Think of it as my kind of art. Some subscribers seem to like it. In the comments, I often write about behind-the-scenes things that most people never see, and probably don’t care about. Notifications for this section can be turned off, for those not interested.
