Reading has long been a passion, fiction and non-fiction of almost any genre. Story tellers who are superb word-smiths are my favorites, for fiction of course, but also to bring non-fiction to life. I'm a retired "geek". From the early days of computing, when a computer with considerably less power then today's smart phones took up a whole floor of a large office building, to today's Web 2.0, I enjoyed the work because it constantly changed. Now's the time to see if I can tell stories well enough to please myself, and my readers. It will be a learning experience, so let me know how you think I'm doing.
