About Me
About me
I have had a library-card since I was twelve, when I read Bram Stoker's Dracula in three days. I read mostly Sci-Fi these days but do enjoy a good book no matter what the genera. I paint with black-light paints, collect things, [my wife says I'm a hoarder], have three grown sons, some grandchildren, I am retired, I used to ride a motorcycle, [still have my 1985 Honda Interceptor 500], do arty stuff like taking apart old toys and putting them back together in ways they weren't intended, to make funny stuff. I have been married to my third wife since 1989. [Lord knows how I've managed that!] I like taking pictures, I love dogs. I have been a member of Neo since before "The Crash". I love Neopoet for all the wonderful poets here at the site, and have made many, many friends here. ~ Geezer.
