• About me

  
  
  

  I'm a midlife adventurer who just finished a Bachelor's Degree after a 25 year hiatus. I'm a geek by trade as well as by inclination, and write novels that thus far have not led to New York beating down my door. Still I persist, believing that life is too short to give up on dreams.

  Proudly smoke-free since 21 May 2007.

  Project: Healthy

  Total lost to date: 44 lb.
