Just your typical husband, father, professor, officer, veteran, poet, and disciple. I keep my hair short to hide the grey ones. In the words of the immortal Indiana Jones: “It’s not the years; it’s the mileage.” I’ve been married to Amy for over twenty years. Stephen, Clare, Dorothy, and Samuel are also part of our happy home.
Twenty-Seven Other Things I’m Grateful For
1. Boots
2. Growing up in a small town
3. My teachers, especially Steve Axelrod (Riverside), Arthur Quinn (Berkeley), Emory Elliott (Riverside), Sandy Muir (Berkeley), John Engell (San Jose State), and Michael Phillips (Ridgecrest).
*A paid political announcement. My real #21 is T.S. Eliot. Or Walt Whitman. Or Emily Dickinson. Or Longfellow, Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Stephen Crane, Melville, Henry James, William Dean Howells, Annie Dillard, and so on and so forth. You get the picture.
