Now I'll tell you about myself, but you have to promise to keep it a secret, just between the two of us. I knew I could trust you, you have an honest face (2-way website, don't you know). There are three great accomplishments, things which I can take some credit for, in my life: my family, my medical career, and my writings. They are in, I am certain, their proper order. My family, including my perfect wife Karen, wonderful children (adults now) Chris and Kim, along with our dear salukis, give me strength, love, and meaning. What humbling gifts. I include in my family also all those near and dear (you know who you are, so I shant bother listing). I am almost as proud of my incredible career as a physician (no, not that I'm incredible, but that the journey is, come on, what kind of shameless self-promoter do you take me for? Well I'm not that kind!). I'm certified in Internal Medicine and Allergy, have worked in ER's, hospitals, clinics, homes, and most places between. What a rush! When I say it's been an honor and a privilege, I truly mean it. My writings, which will be expanding as my understandings of technology increases, allow me a powerful creative outlet, and so benefit me. In my wilder dreams, I hope they have sufficient merit, and so benefit you. Know me by what I love: Dickens, Orwell, and Tolkien; Milton, Donne, and Blake; Coltrane, Davis, and Desmond; Picasso, Michelangelo, and Renoir; Astronomy, Biology and Geology; Doctor Who, Star Trek (original TV), and Doctor Who (yah, I love it that much); Lucas, Ford, and Spielberg; Avedon, Doisneau, and Arbus; burger and fries, coc au vin, and pizza. Have I left anything out? Just one, the most important: God. I'm an ex-Catholic wondering if churches are device of men and necessary. More importantly, I wish I spent more time seeing His wonder in the world (I'm not evangelizing, just passing along info; this is a bio, n'est pas?). Oh, and this has never come up, but there used to be a series of magazine ads where cool looking people were asked a bunch of questions, about what they liked. A standard query was: "What's your favorite word?" So, this really stuck with me (I know, I need more meds, right) and now I can tell someone, you, my favorite word. Oneself! I love it. It means 'on your own' right, but it also refers to the elf you own! Brilliant word. Now, where'd I put that elf.......
