Conroy

Description

Conroy is a transportation engineer/renaissance man with the mind of an analyst and the eye of an artist. Bursting with energy, sharp as a razor, and fast with the facts, Conroy is a deep thinker with a love for sports, history, literature, movies, music, physics, philosophy...the list goes on and on. He is proud to call Baltimore, MD, his personal stomping ground, but he also loves to travel around the world.

The Man is a lawyer with an enthusiastic love for learning and a passion for figuring things out. He's especially fascinated by the law and economics movement these days, but his interests include language and logic, science and philosophy, and just about everything else. He lives and works in Fort Lauderdale, FL with his lovely wife and two wonderful cats.

Conroy and the Man http://conroyandtheman.blogspot.com/
Conroy and The Man debuted in September 2010, with wide-ranging posts, on well, anything that interests us.

We guarantee only the following - this blog is home to the greatest writing; most original, groundbreaking insights; brilliantly entertaining repartee; and the timeless power of genius...okay, perhaps a bit of hyperbole.

What we can promise is the energy of two men inspired by the complexity and variety of this universe and hungry to express that interest to our readers. We cover topics from the esoteric to the mundane, but always with enthusiasm.
