About Me

After 35 years in public education as a university administrator and a high school English teacher, I began my second life as a freelance writer, winning San Diego Society of Professional Journalists awards for my opinion columns in the former San Diego daily North County Times and the San Diego Free Press.

 So, here I am again. I still do not know about to operate this thing. It seems that you do not understand me. Can you hear me now?

Back again I hope I can continue my diary without having to stop and start.

It's December13, 2023

Karen is in her office writing. 

I awoke this morning with no anxiety. Hope that continues today. 

I can't seem to make voice recognition work this morning.

 After giving up on voice-recognition technology to create this post, I am resorting to hunt and peck, seek- and-ye-shall-find, technology. I think I am doing quite well fighting off dementia, thanks to my ever-patient, care giver and beautiful wife Karen. I insist on continuing to find out how to return to voice-recognition, since my special gift of Essential Tremor keeps my fingers dancing out of tune.
