About Me
writer, teacher, father, seeker, old(er) man physically challenged
If I could come back to life as an animal, I would be a
human being.
If I could come back to life as a plant, I would be a
redwood tree.
If I could have lunch with any historical or current person, it would be
my wife.
I could best describe my personality as
mercurial.
