Writing Life

A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.

About Me

Name:
Location: Tennessee, United States

I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.

Franklin (NC)

My colleagues and I were returning to Tennessee from Georgia and chose to take the scenic route up Highways 441 and 23. In Franklin, North Carolina, we saw these bumper stickers attached to vehicles sitting side by side in front of us at a traffic light: the car on the right, "Home Improvement Begins with the King James Bible"; the car on the left, "Extremely Rightwing" and "God Bless Our Troops . . . Especially Our Snipers."
