I was born during year four of the reign of the divine Tiberius on the outskirts of the empire in Brooklyn. I married my high school sweetheart, the girl I took to the prom and we were together for forty years until her passing in 2004. We had four kids together and buried two together. I had a successful career in Corporate America (never got rich but made a living) and traveled the world. I'm currently retired and live alone in the Tampa Bay metro area. I try to write poetry (not very well), and about family. Occasionally I will try a historical piece relating to politics.
