I'm an old, forgotten retiree from the Evil Empire, AT&T. I live with a dog and two cats. I read quite a lot and write daily. Music is a passion. I run, and xc ski in the rare snowfalls. I'm rather interested still in mathematics – I read math as an undergraduate and as a graduate student – but I'm not terribly good at it. I visit the UK every year. I'm a veteran of the Vietnam War.
