About Me
Retired U.S. Army, father of four girls, grandfather of four boys and two girls and wondering if one of my grandsons will make me a great-grandfather in the not-too-distant future. The oldest isn't married & has nothing planned (but biology happens) and the second oldest gets married in October '24, so the odds will go up.
Type of Writer
I used to be all about the Short Story. Lately, though, I've been leaning pretty far forward in the Poetry foxhole.

Favorite Quote
"What we've got here is...failure to communicate" (Captain in Cool Hand Luke). I try to avoid having it apply to my writing.
