| Introduction | When dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I was born in Rochester's "beer belt" on the east side of the Genesee River to parents of Eastern European extraction. Unable to accomplish getting expelled, I graduated from High School and entered Academia, where I received several pieces of paper that stated I was educated. I eventually entered the wonderful world of retail, which transferred me from Rochester to Buffalo, to Syracuse and then back to Rochester, stores and companies closing up all the while. This effectively put an end to my wanderlust. Currently, I live in the Maplewood section of Rochester, where I have stayed put for fourteen years. I share my home with a dog, a cat, a parrot, a parakeet and assorted hamsters. A groundhog is sometimes resident under the front porch. |
