Hermit on the Move
Since I published my first book, I have been promoting it among my family, friends and social contacts. It is an uncomfortable process. I am a natural hermit. Like many sons who follow their father’s model (for good or bad), my father was a hermit. When he passed away, his contact with people was less… Continue reading

Walk In The Snow
I never told my kids that when I was a kid I had to walk twenty miles in the snow to get to school, the old generational lament that the younger generation had it easy, but I did brag how different it was without modern technology. They were amazed to learn of a world without… Continue reading

I spent a ton of time reading books and taking tests to identify what jobs were best for me. I came across something that proposed the true answer is always obvious, evident in one’s… Continue reading

Dream
My father left me no clear legacy. He retreated from himself and succumbed to drinking. My experience with him had been mostly a cloud with a few bright spots, notably fishing. I think about his influence because I wish I had a powerful legacy from him, footsteps to follow. I spent much of my early… Continue reading

Aches and Pains
I grew up loving the cold weather. My family had a retail sports shop and were big skiers. Some of my best memories are going on winter trips with my aunt and uncle. When my kids were old enough, we had loads of fun in the snow. I would make huge snow slides or forts.… Continue reading
