For
most of my life, my writing has been confined to correspondence and technical
subjects. I did write a short story titled “First Christmas on the Moon” in junior high school.
As I remember, that story was not long on character development.
I am still more at home with the essay, but, in my maturity, I am at least
willing to give fiction a try. Don't expect Poe or O. Henry or Stephen King, for
that matter.
“Weekend Practice” has been somewhat
controversial, although it hasn’t been the subject of literary
criticism.
“Veritas,” I think, was written in high
school.
“Trump 2024” is, not surprisingly, political.
It could have be filed under Commentary, but I decided to put it here.
It is my hope that this piece is wildly exaggerated. It is my fear that
it is not.
