I’m a fully retired fully human commonologist. Except for some unavoidable honey-do’s… I pretty much goof off for a living now. I do a lot of thinking… then writing… then anguishing… then editing… then anguishing some more, finally getting around to those honey-do’s.
God made me the way I am. I’m a commonologist. I depend on the earth like everyone else and ponder everyday things most every day… like an ant on my front porch meandering about with some sort of purpose. I wonder about the wandering ant’s intentions. I’m highly allergic to certain yet to be identified ant bites. Asian needle ants are unconfirmed suspects. As a commonologist, I’m somewhat lacking in knowledge regarding many common things. Maybe I’m more of a yondering artsyologist. God knows what I am.
Currently calming and pondering…
I’m about 15 in dog years
my wife says I’m 10
my brain tells me I’m 9…
I’m actually in my 8th decade
as measured by Earth’s solar orbit
…relatively old for a kid
From Livelihood to Lifehood
My last career job was computer aided design of internet operating circuit board layouts along with a distinguished team of engineers, managers and support personnel. Prior to that I was an electronics technician evolving into circuit board design in the defense industry working with tactical missile systems. My first career job was a professional artist. During my younger years I worked many odd jobs beginning at age nine with a newspaper delivery route.
The most important career lesson I learned was from a female automobile mechanic. I was in my late teens and wasn’t happy with where I was working at the time and she told me, “The best thing you can do is make yourself valuable”.
Credits
Thanks to my family and friends for their help, life lessons, love, and patient understanding.
Special thanks to my Susan’s (1 & 2) without whom I would be lost in space.
Infinite thanks to Susan (1) for being the better whole of me and dealing as best she can with my wacky doodle, incredibly stubborn, independently wired noodle… not a marshmallow, just a unique fellow.
Most of all, thanks to God, who deserves ALL the credit for EVERYTHING! Even toxic ants…
flowers bloom and seed the earth
God helps them grow
Thanks for visiting!
