| I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and have rooted for the Browns and Indians for a long time now. I was a preemie, eager to make my premiere appearance in April 1960, instead of a full-term July. I say premiere instead of debut, since nobody had to smack debutt. I enjoy puns, anagrams, and the endless search for the perfect choice of words to express myself flawlessly. My phonetic wordplay borders on the subconscious, and I thank God for giving me the ability to pre-empt or discard items I come up with. (Too bad that ability doesn't include the puns.) I moved to North Carolina in the 8th grade, and soon thereafter became better known for my mathematical inclination. Majored in math at UNC-Chapel Hill, was rapidly indoctrinated into Tarheel basketball. I never cared for basketball, being only 5'4", but at CAROLINA, that did not matter. After several years of work in the real world, I went to grad school at UNC-Charlotte. Somehow I managed to complete a Masters degree in Applied Statistics. Since then, nobody seems to know what direction I'll end up going. Like the message I made up for my former roommate's answering machine: As to where I am, your guess is as good as mine. I joined Mensa earlier this year, and enjoy intelligent conversation. I am single, never married, and leave that question in His capable hands. My denominational background is Lutheran, but I have a mind of my own, which belongs to Christ, and I endeavor to let it be His. |
I do have other poetry, but I have chosen not to post it here or elsewhere. From an artistic
point of view, it may be worth sharing, since it documents the darker, sadder, more
depressed side of my experience, and I have seriously considered posting it for its value. I
cannot emphasize strongly enough how there is great potential for self-deception in posting
such things.
Actors, poets, and artists of all kinds realize the tremendous power of their media to carry
themselves and others away. Just as it can he uplifting to others to share inspiration, it can
be devastating and irresponsible to cast aside the discernment of personal circumstances,
and the editorial responsibility of a morally responsible writer. Whatever we choose to
share may be replicated beyond our wildest imaginings. I will "Magnify the Lord" as Psalm
34 suggests.
