Some of you may know me as a former colleague; a singer, a parishioner; a custom home builder; a specialty baker, former classmate, neighbor or a relative. But… hold your drawers on….. You tell me, now you want to be a writer….

Out of the blue and floating across my mind and sets the stage perfectly, for our travels across the pages of my story, this telling lyric from The Joker, a well-known song and number one hit in the mid-1970s is by the Steve Miller Band, wrote… “I’m a joker, I’m a smoker, I’m a midnight toker…” While I am none of these, I do have a quick-witted sense of humor. “cause I’m a singer, I’m a baker, I’m a writer, and I’m a thinker”.   

To sum it up……“I travel to the beat of a different drum, Can you tell by the things I’ve done.” a Paraphrased lyric by Michael Nesmith of the Stone Poneys (Different Drum).
