For the past four decades, I've resided on a houseboat outside of Portland, Oregon, in the company of various animals, including cats, dogs, otters, and beavers, as well as birds: eagles, osprey, herons, hawks, cormorants, and a wide variety of songbirds.

Stories, essays, poems, and articles have appeared in various publications over the years, most recently in McSweeney's and Yes magazine.
