Bio: Born in New York City, I have lived in three northeastern states, one midwestern, one southern and one left coast state. Have been to Europe twice. Aside from traveling a lot, I have read eclectically and seen many movies; yet there are so many more books to read and movies to see. I have worked fitfully for most of my life but steadily in recent years, mostly in low level clerical and editing/proofing jobs. I have lived alone a good many years, but I had a brother and sister as well as two parents during childhood, and I currently live with a girlfriend whom I met in 1976, although we have been living together for only the last eight years. I am a militant agnostic. I have been published in small but widely circulated periodicals including Liberty and Journal of Higher Criticism.
