About

Well, I’m 50, which means middle-aged, hence “from the middle zone.”  I have two daughters – one 19, in her first semester at college about 5 hours away.  The other is 14, in middle school, and runs the household.  I have a B.S.B in Business (1980) from the University of Minnesota, and a J.D. from the University of Hawaii (2004).  I am on disability (SSI) due to multiple health problems, so I have plenty of time to think, muse, read and write.  I use the Weblog as a way to get my thoughts out somewhere, even if no one reads them – at least they are out of my head!

I read SF almost exclusively, peppered with some thriller/adventure type books like Matt Reilly and James Rollins, and some of the better Da Vinci Code style thrillers, like Steve Berry, Raymond Khoury, etc.

So most of my writings/musings, in order to stay away from personal topics about my life, health, family and ex, are about what I read, or what I watch.  I have many topics always in cue, so it’s just a matter of finding the time to sit down and roll them out – so they come in clumps – several within a few days, then nothing, then more.

I write about what interests me, what intrigues me, and what I have questions about.  I invite comments, as many of my posts have questions either explicit or implicit within them.  If anyone has suggestions for musings/writings, please feel free to let me know – I am always on the lookout for more things to think about.  And I invite guest contributors, provided they stay within my conceptual framework of what is relevant, semi-relevant, or just plain intriguing.  Nothing too polemic (with the exception of book burning), just thoughts on what is current.  As X-files tag says – The Truth is Out There!
