I'm to the right of Attila the Hun on some issues (basically, if you've caused undue harm to others, then to hell with you), libertarian on others (I don't give a damn what you do withstanding the implied foregoing parameters), and probably one of the most transparent sons-a-bitches you'll meet (appreciation of such candor is reader-dependent). As a retired cop-cum-writer, I divide my discretionary time between a variety of a.d.d.-dictated distractions, including bicycling, freelancing, metal detecting, comics, films, etc. If you feel like saying hi, please do. Really. Especially if you and I are at political odds with one another. Odds are I will reply in kind (unless you're a gang member, sociopath, or repeat Obama voter in which case there's no hope for you and all bets are off). If I don't reach out to you, don't take it personal. I'm deathly afraid of rejection. And doesn't that make my interest in writing all the more of a wonder? BTW, I'm too lazy to change my email addy below. The new one is [email protected].
