They call me grubsneerg.

Actually, it's something others call my hometown of Greensburg, Pa. You probably figured out it's Greensburg spelled backwards. I first heard "grubsneerg" from a friend who had a friend who referred to our hometown this way. Was it affection for our small town or derision of our small town on his part? It doesn't matter to me. It was affection on my part that led me to name one of my Neopets grubsneerg, and affection again when I joined BookCrossing under that name.

I decided to use this blog to keep track of my adventures in BookCrossing. Here are my first eleven wild releases:
