I
was born to write so I went to work for newspapers but they kept making me
an editor or putting me in charge of the computer system because
competency at today's midsize dailies is scarce, and the mindless,
heartless, soul-sold bean-counters who run them think reporters are a dime
a dozen, although they don't want to pay that much. Then I went to work
for a software company writing manuals, but the owner put me in charge of
the computer system, although he kept trying to find somebody else and had
me write software every time he auditioned a new replacement. Now I'm
a webmaster for a state agency, and I was mayor of Harrisonburg for a
while due to a
minor political miscalculation on my part. I've written two novels and I'm
pretty sure the third or fourth one will be publishable. That about covers
everything, except for the private details I never could understand why
anybody would put on a website.
