I've been a journalist (and newsreader) for most of my life. Covered US politics and travelled a lot. Married twice: two sons, seven granddaughters. No car, moved around on a civilized motorcycle. In february I was rammed from behind by a car (a Mercedes, no less) and spent more than 4 months in hospital. Most of the damage is healing well and I live on my own. I love writing, on PAPER.
