I am a voice from the past who has been alive during several apocalyptic events.
For a time I shared information with the public by means of organic material delivered to individual residences by miniature humans.
My knowledge is broad but not deep.
BTW — although you never asked nor could you care any less, I am currently wearing those red sox pictures at left.
They are my oldest wearable articles of clothing. I received them as a “gift” 52 or 53 years ago.
If you are curious, just ask ….

The Super Bowl:
You know that magazine you stopped reading because of all the ads? It’s been adapted for TV as The Super Bowl.
Three hours of very expensive commercials broken up by some occasionally interesting football.

Just because ….
There are only two pro football games a year that I actually find interesting:
The NFC and AFC championship games.
Less hype and really playing for something special — a trip to the overly-hyped and anticlimactic NFL Championship game (aka The Super Bowl).

My children were/are readers because they can read. Many can’t. Not because of lack of opportunity, but for a multitude of reasons.
I come from a family of readers. Literature (some better than others) was everywhere in my world. If it wasn’t in the house it was at the library.

I didn’t make this up, but I believe it:
Good Non-fiction is where you find facts.
Good Fiction is where you find truths.

I’m just jumping in here, since I’m pretty sure no one will care. But, after 37 years of having “editor” in my job title, I got in the habit of giving advice and sometimes guidance.
A very astute professor espoused what I thought was the best writing advice ever:
“If you would be a writer, write.”
