CURRENT MISSION

Becoming sure of what to say here.

ABOUT ME

I read and write several hours a day. I enjoy watching my stories while decrying the ills of television. I've never had a nick name involving an animal. I've answered every Jeopardy question involving physiology I've seen except one involving Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. I do the NY Times Crossword, but can't complete a Friday puzzle. I have health insurance for the first time in almost two years.

PHILOSOPHY

See: Spinoza.
