Recent events including the deaths of my parents from cancer (father January 2000, mother June 2002), the loss of my job in a 300-person downsizing (February 2006), the curtailing of physical activity by spinal fusion surgery (December 2007 and January 2008), as well as my recovery from a long term illness have all encouraged me to devote some time to writing poetry and fiction, which I enjoy.
