Will Rogers said, “Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.” I say, “It depends on the parrot.”
Background
Information
I grew up in North Adams, Massachusetts and attended Syracuse University. I worked as a medical technician, paramedic and laboratory technician during those years, but I found myself attracted to writing and literature. One evening I went to a party where someone was reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s Coney Island of the Mind. It changed my life forever.
I began writing.
