I eventually ran a hospital but spent most of my career in strategic planning, business planning, acquisitions, and medical staff development.

A couple of the hospital chains.

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in several different locations. After college, I had a job in Kansas City. From there, I went to Chicago, New Orleans, and now Tampa.

Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas. Their son lived in the same complex where I lived. Met them in the parking lot. John Kerry. He was having coffee in YBOR, a section of Tampa, waiting on a bench for his friend. I met Bill Clinton at his campaign hdqtrs in New Orleans. I met Barak Obama on one of his many stops in this State. John Travolta! Hell, this town is full of those damn Scientologists. So, meeting one is no big deal. You trip over them whenever you go out for dinner or to the theater.

Of course, that is why life can be so fun and challenging.

In all honesty, I have always been one of those persons whose head has been pointed upward my entire life. I would have loved to travel the galaxies. I guess this is why I am such a science fiction geek.

I had a very active social life in high school. I enjoyed science fiction then and now. I read constantly and prefer reading to watching TV or working on my computer. I have written several short stories all were rejected for publication which would not be a surprise to anyone. I hated school because it was so restrictive in what you read and, even, how one thinks. I enjoy great conversations over coffee in an outdoor cafe. I am a great cook.
