I love being a priest at Saint John’s. - I love living and working in Memphis, Tennessee! My work is purposeful and my conditions are stellar! I’m having a ball in my 60’s! If that sounds a bit too good to be true, well yes, a little. But I’m not new at this game and I’m not young and naïve (in denial maybe), but in spite of the facts I am hopeful.

History always fascinates me as well as art, music and most anything with a face and a story. I am partial to Scotch, Bengal cats, speculative fiction (especially alternate history) and oriental art. My favorite moment in time is a dark, cold afternoon in front of the fire and a conversation with an interesting companion, a glass of something smoky in my hand and a Bengal in my lap. From there my soul sees home.
