I’m feeling obliged to fill in this space. Isn’t that what we do? Fill in spaces. Not to get metaphysical and all.

I’m a freelance writer living in Denver, Colo.

“Writer of what?” you’re asking.

I’m a pretty good writer of technical manuals… software instruction, product release notes. Like that.

I’ve written a few articles on fitness for an online publication that most people don’t know. I’ve done some Web copy work for a ubiquitous company that makes computer how-to DVDs. I write mediocre fiction bad fiction, but I’m trying to change that.

Other stuff worth mentioning …

I’m 39 years old which means that my 20th high school reunion is this summer happened summer of 2006. Crap.

I’ve got two old cats: one that can’t get enough to eat, shits everywhere and weighs eight pounds thanks to Irritable Bowel Syndrome; and another that can’t get enough to eat, pees everywhere and weighs 20 pounds thanks to diabetes. (Admit it. You’re jealous.)

Every day I see the Rocky Mountains from the 38th floor of my office building. I turn away from my computer and there they are. It’s spectacular.

(Some people have wondered… No, I’m not this Rob Siders. Nor am I this one.)
