Bio
Former TV weatherman, copier salesman, mortgage seller (no, it's not my fault), shoe salesman, bartender, cloud-seeder, writer, blackjack/craps dealer. California kid or, as some like to say, 'Native Son of the Golden West.' Reared in bucolic Santa Rosa along the banks of the S.R. Creek and a walnut orchard that separated the crick from our house. I was on the high school swim team (not very good). I attended Santa Rosa Jr. College and Sonoma State until my education was interrupted by the draft. So it was the Air Force and eventually Penn State and a career in TV until that dissipated. Messed around with the above odd jobs ending with the blackjack thing and then now - edgy retirement.

Proud dad at it again

I wrote a while back about my kid, a sophomore at NYU and his liveblogging exploits at a school building takeover by a band of goofs.

Those efforts helped him land a pretty good summer gig at our local newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal, writing a new blog about the goings on around town. But he's gone beyond the call of duty and is hosting a pretty comprehensive 'conversation' on the state of, and possible solutions to, healthcare in our state and country. We hear from the NM State Democratic Party, a local physician, a former healthcare lobbyist and president of a large research foundation, and a noted grassroots Democratic blogger. It's telling that the state Repulican Party has declined to participate. Trust me, it's pretty comprehensive and pretty damned interesting.

In a month Charlie's off to Buenos Aires for his junior year. Jesus, to be young again!
