I am starting over. My concerns here will be promises to myself, usually about professional goals or obligations as a teacher, writer, and artist.

This is my new blog. My Blogger site had over 250k reads. I closed it, but here I am again.

After 40 years of teaching, mostly in public schools, I walk the beach each day. My writing has earned an Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship, Arts & Letters fellowship, Soapstone residency, Pushcart nomination, and publication in journals such as Brevity and the Brevity blog, The MacGuffin, CALYX, Liminal Stories, Work Magazine, Raven Chronicles, Ink Filled Page, The Humanist, and North American Review. An MFA graduate from Pacific University, I live and write in the NW corner of my home state of Oregon.
