About Me

Rick: My world changed in March of 2011. I became a layabout with no desire to work at my profession of choice made when I was too young to know what I was doing. Now I day dream about drawing, painting and telling lies. With time this blog will take on some kind of character I'm hoping or I may be hoping that I will gain some character by boring you and me with these words on screen. This blog was begun as a flood of memories for my children and grandchildren to be read when they have decided they would love to know about my childhood. One day I am sure that will be true.
