Retired, married, and inconvenienced by having Parkinson's, a chronic disease PD.

I write in fits and starts. My Parkinson's Disease-(PD) is not yet under control although I'm working on it. My energy to devote to writing therefore fluctuates: my writing interests are socially oriented and diverse.

My work experience was, in broad terms, a mix of emergency humanitarian aid, and teaching: from middle school, high school, and adult populations.

I believe that the hedonistic values practiced by corporate, government, or other interest groups in their manipulation of society have grown to become societal standards.

In turn, social change has become more deeply entrenched in this division of wealth which has helped to increase suffering from those in pitiful poverty, to the working poor, on one side of the social divide with increasing examples of obscene wealth on the other side.
