About Me

  • About Me: I enjoy good music, photography as a hobby, and playing with my grandsons. I collect CDs. Not the ones in the bank, but those I can listen too. Currently, there are well over 1000.

My favorite writers are Harry Crews, Cormac McCarthy, Faulkner, Hemingway, Larry Brown, Lee Smith, Eudora Welty, Thomas Wolfe, William Styron, Walker Percy, and others.
