About

Journey Home. Isn’t that where we are always heading?

This blog is an attempt to make sense of a life through writing and photographs. During the coronavirus pandemic I retired from outside paid work and began posting here more. It has become a form of public diary.

I began writing in public with an August 1974 letter to the editor of the Times-Democrat newspaper in my home town. The majority of my public writing has been such letters, opinion pieces, and since 2007, thousands of posts on several blogs. When I was younger, I had vague notions of becoming a novelist, yet found it difficult to break from the exigencies of a life to produce fiction. Now that I have more time, I lost interest in writing fiction. What I write now is grounded in some form of reality, not really non-fiction, but not fiction either.

I continue work on an autobiography. That project takes much of my time, so I’m posting less often and less urgently here. Bits and pieces of that person I was 50 years ago percolate to the surface from time-to-time.

Read my most popular post Autobiography in 1,000 Words to learn more about me.

For now, I enabled comments. I read them all and post about half of them. Pro tip: If your comment is longer than my original post or on a different topic, I recommend you get your own blog.

Thanks for reading my work.
