Formerly taught writing and literature to college and university students. Father of four (one deceased), twice divorced, one time competitive runner and tennis player, student of the nature of language and the role of written composition, lover of music, used to dance but back issues interfered, reader, writer, appreciator of poetry, and adherent of universal humanism. I believe that the greatest obscenity is the intentional harming of another human being. Hate is the problem; love is the answer.
