ABOUT THE AUTHOR

     THANK YOU for visiting this website.

     I was born shortly after the end of World War II in 1945.  Yes, I have to be careful when I talk about "old folks."  I do not feel old, but the fact of the matter is, I belong to the senior crowd!  But it's COOL!  Maybe even AWESOME!

     I have enjoyed growing "old."  Did you know, in Scripture, when Jesus invites us to be as perfect as his heavenly father is perfect, the actual Greek word for "perfect" is grown up?  So I can dig that.  Becoming more and more godly every day!  What a deal for just a bunch of birthdays!

     I like to weave all of life's experiences together so when you read From the Frying Pan To The Jacuzzi, you will notice that there is an interesting mix of history, psychology, theology, biology, and even neurobiology.  And a few pounds of humor.  There is also a fair amount of self disclosure just so you'll know I DON'T have it together!  Whatever together means, like you got all of life in one pocket or in the drawer between the shorts and the socks!

     I have been married twice.  Roberta and I were married for almost twenty seven years. She passed away from cancer in 1998.  She is still an important part of my life and I talk to her every morning. Why not?  Yes, I believe in that!  We had a wonder-filled son, David, who is still wonder-filled.

     Dianna and I were married for ten years.  Dianna has three wonder-filled adult children,  Darrell, Ian, and Brittany.  I owe Dianna and her now adult children much appreciation for loving me and teaching me so much about relationships and family, especially the so-called blended family.
  
     I am currently planning to reach at least one hundred. years old.  Looking forward to getting there with whomever wants to come along.
