Born in Ohio, 1946. I've lived in New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, California and now I reside in Bumfuk, Nevada. My father was an artist and my mother was raised in an environment of culture. They both died in '06.  As the oldest son, I had to deal with all the crap that the courts and society slam down on your placemat when parents die. Never did real well in school until I entered the MBA program at Cal State Fullerton. Frankly, I never gave a damn until then. Spent most of my career working for idiots in high level, high stress jobs. Now I deal cards at a casino. I clap my hands at the end of the day and sleep well at night. I've never been happier.
