OK. Quivering...
Here goes:
Born 10-14-54, Brooklyn, then Yonkers; HS in Ardsley NY.
Led gang "Kimbles Krazies" and the Peoples Party Party in High School.
Krazies asked, "If a tree falls in the forest, and only we hear/see it, did it
fall?"
Left HS one year early (big mistake) for pre-med studies;
then communications at The New School.
Hitch-hiked around country, mainly I-80 lattitude. Missed the 60's
scene in San Fran that I had admired/fantasized about. 60's envy.
Settled down in DC after meeting my now-ex here.
11-year old daughter had 700 word vocab at 1.5 years, reads about a book a day.
(Any suggested training-novels leading eventually to TRP?)
Worked for Novell for a few years.
Currently writer/microcomputer-LAN analyst.
Always looking for work in DC, NYC, LA.
Favorite TRP moments:
The sinking of the Anubis
The return from looking for Tantivy: "I had nowhere else to go...."
