Not much to tell, I'm a graphic artist and a published amateur writer. I lived in New York for a number of years before moving back to Ohio to be with family. Happily married to my wonderful wife whom puts up with me doing all the crazy things I do. Aside from pipe smoking I enjoy collecting books. I have several thousand of them in my collection at the moment. (Not counting paperbacks which has to be somewhere in the same ballpark.) I don't watch Television and haven't had cable since 1999. I would rather spend my evenings reading then watching the garbage on the boob-tube.
