I look forward to the competitions; took me a long while here to even think I could write anything good enough because there are some really talented and skillful writers here and I just recently got enough confidence to even consider entering, but I enjoy trying to tailor a story or a poem to the strictures of a competition now. And I think I am finding my voice, whatever the hell that means. A few other people whose opinions I respect tell me that they think I have a modicum of talent, and its fun to try to prove them right. Anyway....I look forward to the next one.

At work I am. Been doing it for a long time, through a lot of different corporate managements and structures. Outside of work, I'm a hell of a lot better than I was a year ago. I used to be terribly shy around women; somewhere along the way that trait dissolved. Philosophically, I care less and less about always trying to please the crowd. I've always been a smartass, even in third grade when I hit on a nun.

Oh, I met a lot of the jazz greats during my days as a bartender in Bloomington, Indiana...if talking to them before and after they played constitutes 'meeting' them; Charles Mingus, Roland Kirk, Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Harris, Maynard Ferguson, and some others. Also John Mellencamp and John Hiatt were local boys then who went on to do good nationally. I liked John Hiatt the better....great sense of humor and very low key. Even then he was writing some good songs. I shook hands with Bobby Kennedy on a campaign stop he made in 1968, but that's hardly 'meeting" him.
