If only I could time travel, forgotten poets would be my destination.
A perpetual seeker and sometime finder. A former teacher, bartender, banker, and technologist. Guided by humor, driven by desire, and a lover of life.
I am an opinion writer. I comment on issues I feel are very important to me and hopefully others. I am retired USAF, an educator, training specialist, and poet. Streams of Reluctant Consciousness to follow.
