I'm a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor degree in English Literature. I worked mostly for the City of Philadelphia in Human Resources and later in Capital Programs. I have interests in music, mostly classical and jazz, am interested in the arts and history and, not unexpectedly, literature. I also have a weakness for mystery novels and films.

I'm of a skeptical nature, prefer provable facts over wishful thinking and feel that believing in what we have not questioned is unhealthy. I've coined a number of aphoristic statements such as "Macho-ism is a crippling disease" and "you should periodically ask yourself how you know what you know". None of them have received public prominence.

why any of the above is of any help to anyone, including me I cannot fathom but there it is.
