Why

I was born in the 1950's. I grew up appreciating nature. From 6 years old until a sophomore in high school I had pet turtles, snakes, hamsters, and others. I fed them. I kept them alive (and I think happy).

I was educated in the sciences. A stalagmite might reach the ceiling. A stalactite holds tight to the ceiling. A piece of metamorphosis was gneiss but we always took it for granite.

My career was in technology. I programmed telephone switches. I was fluent in COBOL, FORTRAN, C++, and various control languages.

I love philosophy, humor, reading, and thinking. I wrote songs like Allan Sherman and Weird Al Yankovic. In school I read to the public at The Upper Room coffee house. Now that I am out of school I read to the public at The Corner House.

I write a variety of science fiction, poetry, flash fiction, and other speculations. If you have any comments on what I write I would be glad to read them.

The whole world works together on many levels and working together is important to strive for. Plus a laugh here and there helps us through.

Please express yourself with Comments

As with any writer, it helps and is greatly appreciated when I receive comments on my posts. My flash fiction posts, my links to the Literary Community, my published works would all gain if you tell me what you like, what you dislike, and what you would suggest. Thank you for reading me and thank you for telling me what you think.

By the way, this blog is set up so you can express yourself anonymously if that is what you are most comfortable with. No source is kept track of. Comments help me provide thoughts and words that you may be interested in.
