Retired do-gooder (community mental health, hospital, hospice), as well as a former school bus driver, railroad brakeman, innkeeper, Red Cross chapter manager, steakhouse cook, chamber of commerce exec, and art dealer. I've lived in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona (anywhere they don't routinely check the NCIC). I'm not on Twitter, Facebook or none of them others. Despite waxing prosaic about cigars, bourbon, tequila, and brandy, I am a lifelong non-smoker and a one-beer-a-week drinker. However, I am an adherent of the Oxford comma and butter pecan ice cream.
