Additional information

I was always the guy they stuck with writing press releases for the company. I started writing for real after walking away, without a scratch, from a car totaled by a tractor trailer. It was the second time it had happened to me within a two week period. I think someone upstairs was trying to tell me something about what I should be doing with my life. So right now I am living with the elves in the North Eastern Pennsylvania Forest putting it all down on paper.
