The Author-in-Crisis

Yes, I’m joining the rest of the modern world, just a little after I finally got my first cell phone (a dumb one, just like its owner). I’m a 51-year-old freelance writer and playwright, sometime-radical, would-be Buddhist, vegan, devoted husband (make that once-devoted, prior to the New Crisis), and Frank Zappa-loving neurotic trying to make sense of my upcoming move from Chicago to my home state of Connecticut (an even swap, right?), the cross-country trip that will precede it (oops, scratch that…), the state of this infuriating and lovely country, my struggling writing career, and all the other things that flit through my mind from time to time. Hope there’s at least one thing every post that makes you laugh, makes you think, or both. And for a little more background on me and the blog, check out the inaugural post. Thanks.
