In short

  • Currently employed as a tech writer against my will.  This comes after years of toiling away at the drawing board with light humorous pieces about politics, social affairs, and observing my favorite canines in the dog park.

    There is much more...this is just the beginning outlines of an epic and inglorious writing career.   Stay tuned... 

    PS: I'm reminded of my favorite Peanuts cartoons in which Snoopy receives rejection letters from publishers.  I'm wondering if it's possible to post those cartoons here.  Further investigation needed.

  • Joining "Webook."  (How's that for name dropping.)
