Curious minds seek answers. I get into both real and imagined tales, including political essays and opinion pieces. My words can be your escape.

Poet and essayist living on the left coast of a nation in decline.

I am a sanity-curious former teacher who writes about politics, social issues, memoirs, and a variety of other topics.

Politics is a Fudgin’ cesspool. Will try to be civil and pertinent. NO labels. Equal opportunity basher. Talk hot-button issues.
