Places I've been

My location, education, work and military history enhances my biography and helps me re-connect with people from my past.

More about me

I am not really 100. That factors in the wind-chill factor. "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself" (Eubie Blake, age 100; quote also attributed to Mickey Mantle...)

[Note: I originally listed my birth year as 1908. I meant this as a harmless little jest. I was denied membership in the Eons Writers Group twice without explanation or recourse. I am trying once again with my correct age, in case this was the problem. Ugh.]

For Best Non-Fiction English Sentence, I nominate "Omit needless words" (Strunk and White).

A lot more of my words are not needless in my poetry oh my poetry the poetric noetric lub-dub of life. Of life. Lub. Dub.

I edit. You need? Short drafts are free; longer drafts cost double.

I am married. I like conversation. Conversation is good.

I am married. I like to write limericks and silly poems.

I am married. I like to be playful. And oh, can I ever be serious!

I am married. I always welcome the opportunity to write something under the inspiration of a muse. Only females need apply. Coyness and brilliance a plus. Remuneration is in custom poetry. Some of which may actually be pretty good.

Did I mention....
