works he has focused on topics as wide ranging as the role played by Chinese
immigrants in the Pacific Northwest economy in the late 1800s and early 1900s, contemporary Native
American dance, the Civil War, the American West, WWI, WWII and the First Iraq
War.
Finally
about to surrender his NASCAR certified dad taxi license after 22 years of
service he plans to stay in the slow lane and enjoy the ride.
His
arch nemeses are multi lane roundabouts in foreign countries and long lines at
drive through espresso stands (both of which must be eliminated from this earth).
Now
on the down side of life’s sun dial, he plans to spend more time thinking about
finding more time to do everything he has to do each day, and to finally find out how to get more than five hours of sleep per night.
