I have a farming base which let me begin to think. I went to school in Great Bend and Lawrence, Kansas, where I began to learn how to learn, and then got an education in the USMC. Got my degree on the GI Bill, working full time as a copywriter duting the day and going to classes at night and being a parent and husband someplace inbetween. I lost the husband part, but I'm still a dad to my son and daughter even after a few decades. Got two grandchildren I won't start talking about becaise I won't stop and that's not what you want to know anyway. I write for newspapers and magazines for some several years now and I work security in my day job. I live alone and comfortably. But I'd like somebody, not just anybody, to talk to. I lost my superstition a long time ago, after working hard to believe for an also long time.
