The Morally Superior Are Dangerous.

About Me

After a lifetime of fun and travel, I'd like to find a steady situation here in L.A. again, sell Sinner's Revenge, the near-future adventure novel I wrote, check out all the movies I've missed seeing over the years, and start shooting lots of pool again.

My Interests

www.GRASSHOPPERPLANET.COM ....................................... WWW.GRINNINSINNER.COM ....................................... I'M AN EARTHLING. I'd say that trumps pretty much everything else: race, religion, country of origin, annual income, sexual orientation, favorite sports team. (Remember how silly it looked when the Enterprise would park over some little planet and look down and all the folks below would be fighting amongst themselves?) And where would we be today if there had been chainsaws, cars, and the stock market two-hundred years ago? Yikes. I'd sure feel better if Planet Earth had lifeboats.
