| I'm only a high-school grad, though more like a monastery with a faculty of 'monks' who administered strict and many times physical disciplines. But, I endured 4 years absorbing an education that would rival many of today's higher-ed campuses. Personally, I consider myself an open book who enjoys meeting new and interesting people, especially those posing the promise of a lasting, genuine friendship. Bless you, and hope you savor every moment honing your skills of the literary craft. | 
| Perhaps "sporadic" best describes my approach; writing only when inspired by a definitive theme or challenge in mind. | 
| Aside from an occasional serious, multi-layered themed project at times, I think I lean more toward being a humorist. | 
| Genuine people for fostering a lively camaraderie, plus putting for birdies or cashing trifectas if not reviving the pen when the muse decides to stick around with a fine bourbon for sharing a crazy tale or two. |
