If you've stumbled on this site accidentally and have no idea what's up, I'm a journalist and newspaper columnist of 30 years who was the victim of a reduction in force at The Tampa Tribune earlier this year.

If you're a former reader or a visitor from http://www.sticksoffire.com/, WELCOME! Glad to see you.

I took a few months off, but I'm back in action. I'm blogging  (click the blog link above or the link to Sticks) and working with the Animal Coalition of Tampa.

I'm also doing some freelance writing and giving speeches.
