A Hoosier Hello!

[jeff2037]

Hi all, I'm new. To the site. It's like being a little bald or a little pregnant, I guess. I'm in Indiana by way of the Big Easy, New Orlelans. I managed to beat the Katrina rush, moved to Indiana in 96. I always wanted to write, you know, the way all the great authors we've read do. Now I have the time. If only my Hemingway-like talent gets recognized before I cut my ear off. Wait, that was van Gogh. Ernest used a gun and...whoa, I ain't going there. It's one thing to suffer for your art but you've got to draw the line somewhere. ___________________________________ There, it's drawn.

Anyway I never know what to say in these intro forums. I'm recently retired from active duty (medical) after 21 years. I was the last dentist to work on a guy whose name rhymes with McVeigh. I know a man who castrated himself because mom''s boyfriend liked him and left his sisters alone. My wife of 29 years thinks i'm nuts, and my 4 sons want to be like me.

I write because I read. I write to express myself. I write because I wants to say what I want to say when i want to say it. But of course, the customer is always right. As long as he agrees with my point of view! Enough fun, hello to everyone and laissez le bon temps rouler! Thanks for letting me participate - merci beau coup. Au revoir! jeff

Welcome Jeff. A breath of fresh air on a gloomy morning.

Hello. I like your style. I'm new here as well, but from what I can see as compared to the other sites I've tried to write to, it's the best place around.
