About me

I have lived so differently from other people that I hesitate to talk about it other than face to face. Not that I've done anything terribly "wrong", it's that my life has been so diverse that sometimes people feel that I'm stepping on their toes.

Just to hint at the diversity, let me show several words and phrases that have been crucially important at various stages of my life (though not necessarily now): phonetics, taximeter, R vs..., canopy tour, cheder, lockdown, toner, TTY tape, quoin.

My work

I am presently manager of the xerographic copying services at a small community hospital in Arizona.
