bio: My Life since 1966:Wow! It really has been 40 years!  The last 40 years have been good to me.  I spent the first 10 figuring out what not to do and how not to do it.  The last 30 I have been living, working and playing in Des Moines, IA.  I have managed to have two wonderful children, two marriages that were wonderful for a while and enough good times for most peoples' lifetimes.
 My life has been and is full.  My father died about 8 years ago.  Fortunately, I was able to understand how difficult I had been for he and my mother in my early years.  It made his passing sad, but not devastating.  My mother is still living in her house and on her own in Council Bluffs near my sister.  
Five years ago I changed careers.  After 20+ years as a therapist in private practice working primarily with distressed families and men who batter women, I became a bureaucrat at the Iowa Department of Public Health managing a federal grant for substance abuse treatment centers.  Up until last October, my passion was running road races, especially marathons.  I was doing 2-3 marathons a year.  My plan was to retire and do ultramarathons, but an arthritic hip with no cartilege left has derailed that dream.  
It's all good though as  my daughter says I can go to live with her in Oregon, drink coffee, eat ice cream, get fat, and make up stories about how good I once was.  That sounds fine to me, but I have a 13 year old son who loves skateboarding and who is good enough at it to be dangerous to himself.  He needs a parent with health insurance so I won’t be going anywhere for a while.  I have another commitment on Saturday, but may be able to make it for Friday night.

I will be: coming
