I've been a writer most of my life. I've done a few books, radio, documentaries, online stuff, magazines and newspapers. Can't imagine doing anything else although it's feast or famine, with the emphasis on famine.
Still, writing (and playing music)are the most fun things one can do with pants on.
According to my late mother, I was conceived in an army truck and born on the radio.
Well, almost.
I was actually born in the freight elevator of the American hospital just outside of Paris, France. A rookie policeman delivered me between the third and fourth floor during a rare snowstorm in the City of Lights.
My parents met at the end of World War II. Both were soldiers with the Free French, the breakaway remnant of the French mil ...more

Twas Three Nights After New Year
It is 2:20 in the morning of the 4th of January, 2025. I am sitting at my computer in my underwear because sleep eludes me. I have two slices of bread, butter and peanut butter and a Mason jar of hot decaf tea. This early morning reading is a new activity I am trying to foster; I don't write enough anymore and what I do write does not impress me.
Actually,it is not that I can't sleep; it's that I Read more of this blog post »

“For Jeanot reading and writing were as basic as breathing. Without reading to help him escape, the world became paler on the brightest day, and most things stopped making sense. In America, where logic was hard to find, reading was a necessity.”

“They reminisced about the war. Cecile told of farmers she knew, neighbors who kept to themselves and sold produce to the Germans, even as they sheltered a family of seven Jews in a root cellar below their barn. At war's end, the family was accused of being collaborators but the testimony of the Jews made them heroes instead. The family said they had lived in the cellar for two-and-a-half years and had never missed a meal. They were fed richly, given wine, eggs and fresh vegetables. They also claimed to have heard the farmer's voice only three times in all those years. When the village mayor sought to decorate him, the farmer refused to be either honored or thanked. He did not change his silent ways and quietly returned to growing artichokes and spinach.”
