About Me

I was born in 1963. My father was almost 50. My mother, who has always been vague about her age, was likely in her late teens. OK, she was in her early 40's… but regardless, let's just say it was not a planned pregnancy.

Years one thru four were uneventful, but then things picked up. I came out of the closet when I was five... that's when I got an actual bed and no longer had to sleep next to my shoes.

For the next few years I shared a room with my brother--he molested me. More precisely, he liked to sit on my head and break wind. My therapist tried to tell me this isn't molestation, so I pinned him down and farted on his head... now he sees things my way.

Despite the abuse I made it through the public school system and enrolled in college where I majored in many, many things. I changed majors so many times that I accumulated 5+ years of education without actually graduating. If I go back and take an art class, I can get my degree in Journalism... so last year I took a Java programming class. My goal was to keep taking college classes into my fifties without actually graduating. But I broke down last semester and graduated so I can start on a Master’s Degree.

I use to work in publishing/advertising as a writer and editor. I cannot, however, edit my own work. So my blogs will be full of typos, grammatical errors, etc. Deal.

Now I am in high tech. I have several companies going and a steady consulting practice. The money is better than it was in publishing, but it’s really, really boring. Hence the blogging. (It was either blogging or drugs and alcohol… been there, done that. No mas.)

I got married--twice--and have two daughters and two stepsons who I adore. I am down to one wife. Wife #1 thought it best that we end our relationship before I remarried... what a prude.
