ABOUT ME

ALL about me? Age nearly 71. I quit smoking in 1986. Just bought a tiny old bright red sports car from a 21-year-old coworker who is leaving the area. What the heck, needed a car; the old (but newer) one was running on three and a half cylinders and now the water pump sounds like a rock in a coffee can. What? Somebody said coffee? Good idea! I roast my own. Yum.

PHILOSOPHY

Second Commandment: kindness.

Books: Chomsky, George Steiner,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
