Ducks at Sprague Lake For some reason, I have always had an urge to create something.  The urge has been quite irresistible at times.  I would sit at the keyboard, fingers trembling, waiting on words to come and share the Something that was in my heart.

Since I lack the imagination and focus to develop a fictional storyline, I write about my life.  I remember the old advice to all writers, "write what you know."  That is what I follow when it is time to put pen to paper - or fingers to keys, as it were.

So, I've written about the things I do and see and hear.  I tell about the people I know and meet.  I share the things I love and hate dislike. 

Tonight, as I watch a rerun of Saturday Night Live, I'm trying to figure out how to shape this here blog.  I believe I will share with you a little of who I am.  Anything else seems ... inauthentic.

If you don't already know me, you will soon. 

Brace yourself. 

What do you want to know about me?
