: About Me

I am a 39 year old man. I have three boys; 13, 11, and 5. My father played for the Detroit Tigers as a relief pitcher from the late 60's to 1980. That means we don't have any money like ballplayers today. My 13 year old son has his grandfather's talent. At the end of his first year of little league he was picked for the All-Star team for his pitching. I help coach his team and I LOVE every minute of it. I also love to write and express my opinion, especially on controversial topics. Several years ago I wrote a novelette longhand on legal pads. It's been sitting in my closet since. I don't have the patients to go through and edit it, nor do I know anyone who will do it for me at no cost. Like I said, we don't have any money.
