Super Power
I have accepted that humor is my super power. It is something I keep close to the vest, but when I let it out I get a good response. When I show my sense of humor on my blog, I usually get more responses. Admitting that I have it in this blog is a step… Continue reading

Fair Weather Fan
When I was young I loved the Winter. I loved to play in the snow, make forts and sculptures, and when I could, go skiing. My family was in the retail sporting goods business and I was a pretty good skier. But as I got older, and the cold stayed in my bones, and shoveling… Continue reading

Mr. Childs
My English teacher in sophomore year high school was the coolest guy. It was the early ’70s. He wore a camel hair jacket, no tie, military style leather boots that were popular among the hip types and had hair down to his shoulder. He appeared unconventional and taught me to think out of the box.… Continue reading

Fishing
I grew up learning fly fishing. My father taught me and I remember long drives in the mountains going to remote spots he knew about. I had a tumultuous relationship with him, but fishing together were the best memories. I like being on the water and the subtleties fly fishing. Continue reading

Penguin In Repose
I have never been a fan of tattoos until my daughter starting getting them. She selects specific artists and chooses very fine artistic designs, so if got one, (not likely) I would get one of my own paintings as a tattoo. Mostly likely one I call “The Four Penguins,” which I feature on my home… Continue reading

I feel good about this decision because it makes the project more manageable. One complication arose, rethinking main stream publishing, because… Continue reading

What’s in a Word.
What is one word that describes you? If you ask my wife, she would say BRAT. I am a temperamental artist. My kids would say NAIVE. Their generation is more cynical. Many co-workers called me the GHOST, because I had a habit of appearing without warning. I was light on my feet. I would call… Continue reading

Indirect
What was the best compliment you’ve received? When my kids told me that I wasn’t as crazy as their friends’ parents. When my mother told me as she read one of my books that she forgot I was the author. When I was an attorney and one of my company executives told me that everything… Continue reading

Once Choice
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I am too old to go by bike, too impatient to go by bus or train, and too nervous to fly on a plane. So, I guess I will take a car, unless they change the national speed limit to 55 mph. Then,… Continue reading

Perfectionist
How would you rate your confidence level? My confidence level is middle level at best. This is not based on what I have accomplished or my skills, but on my perfectionist attitude that is never satisfied with my output. I can always do better. I could do better with this blog post too! Augh. Continue reading
