My motivation for writing is the same for breathing. keeping alive, keep learning, keep becoming a better person and of course to get dates. Influences: Woody Allyn, Orwell, Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Tolstoy, Treasure Island, Fitzgerald, Ira Gershwin, science and Otis. (he's a buck deer that visits me every so often.) Backround: art, music, design, bbqing, fondue and drinking from a garden hose on a hot day.
