Being a resident of this blue ball since 11/22/46 I have weathered the days well. Raised in NW New Jersey, I joined the military and spent 20+ years there, most good ones. Now I am residing in North Central Texas. I have completed requirements for a few degrees for myself, and now work in a local High School. I enjoy my poetry, MENSA, motorcycle, classic cars, working out, grandchildren and of course, again, writing.
