Recovering Abuzzard.Born somewhere in the first half of the last century. Most recently I taught at a detention facility for incarcerated youthful offenders in Boston, MA (USA) and do some contract work for the US State Dept. Currently residing on the Big Island of Hawaii. Language, literature and history are among my chief interests. Also jazz and classical music, painting and sculpture. Former officer in the Army National Guard, former newspaper reporter and editor, former World War II refugee, former drunk. I'm a friend of Bill W. and a full-time survivor. Draw and sketch for a hobby, play chess. I like firearms but don't like to kill animals, so I don't hunt except with a camera. Kill a lot of empty tin cans for target practice, though.
