: About Me

I am a passionate writer; partly imagining myself carrying the Pulitzer across the stage, and partly seizing it as an emotional safety valve. I am a retired Postal Worker (Yea I know the jokes) and now am free to select work that has more meaning.

I am currently an Account Executive (sales) for a chain of radio stations. prior to this, I was teaching Marketing at a Vo-tech School after having spent several years working with emotionally troubled children. I occassionally write editorial comment for a local newspaper and have completed my first novel (which no one yet wants!). I also belong to a writers web site, having won several awards for submissions, and use it to review others' works and hone my skills. I recently completed certification for TESOL (Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages) and look forward to teaching English in other countries. I am working to regain fluency in Spanish and attempting to secure conversational Vietnamese so that the two areas will be the base of my teaching.

My hobby is golf and as some of my submitted articles attest, I love the challenge of new courses. I enjoy traveling and prefer to drive rather than fly. My few trips to Vietnam (A beautiful and friendly country) however, were by air; fueling stations being hard to find in mid Pacific.

Specifically I am 64 years young. Six feet plus and before old age: was once bachelor of the year. I was still going through my divorce at the time and surmissed that women figured I was "broken in" so was a good catch!
I owned an advertising agency for several years but now regret not having photographed bikini calendars.

Thanks for listening to my rant!

Everyone likes a little slice of things; slice of pie, slice of life but, there is one slice that no one really likes; A slice of golf. It is the one singular curse and frustration of all golfers yet results from a singularly simple fundamental. If one addresses the ball incorrectly then, more often than not, the dreaded slice will rear its ugly self. Essentially the mantra is, swing correctly, hit straight. A slice travels in the direction of handedness. A right-hander will curve the ball left to right and the lefty will lose the ball out to the left rough. The issue is that the club face...
