I am a former alienated Punker, now just an aging Non-Existentialist. Growing up, I was something of an autodidact and a bit of a polymath though I did get a degree specializing in literature finally. I love the arts in most all of its forms. I have raised money for the opera, theaters, and symphony orchestras. I used to manage punk bands in the late seventies. I have interests all over the place but mostly I love writing. I do what needs to be done in ways that are typical of a lazy person: more efficiently with alacrity and grit.
