| Introduction | What is there to say? I'm 57, married, take care of many cats, have a great baritone singing voice, think of myself as a "Spritual Atheist" and spent much of my adult life working on a fantasy novel about the return of King Arthur called The Cynningwydd: The King of the Wood. I like to play pool but rarely do, love teaching great literature to talented students, and have a liberal progressive perspective on most political issues. I'm generally easy going, like to not take life too seriously, and have just entered the world of blogging. Since I've always had a fantasy of wanting to write all of my opinions down and that someone would care to read them, I fear I've created a monster--ah, the old adage: Be Careful What You Wish For! |
