Hi. I’m Chris.

I’ve lived a very ordinary life.

I’ve been fortunate in many ways. I’ve worked hard in others. I’ve loved, and been loved. I’ve lost, and caused loss. I’ve been joyous, and found it hard to see the joy.

But I’ve always loved reading and listening to the thoughts of others.

Over the years I’ve consumed, bookmarked and scribbled down notes that quickly become lost from Twitter, blogs, newspapers, books, and conversations.

The Grey Life is a space where I attempt to curate what I believe have been key ideas, thoughts and conversations that have shaped and challenged my experiences and views.

Or, in other words, just another straight, white guy trying to figure it all out. But hopefully there’s something in here for you.
