About the Blogger

My name is Frank.  My interests include history, travel, and technology.  That makes me very non-descript.  What else do you read about on the Internet?  I don't go in for all those new age remedies but I do enjoy reading about traditional therapies that science has confirmed.

And I enjoy humor.  Who doesn't like a good joke?  Just please don't show me endless repeats of the two hunters in the woods.  Okay, the guy shoots his friend to make sure he's dead.  Yes, I laughed a few times.  But can't we come up with some new jokes?

You might think my life has been ordinary.  With over 7 billion people on the planet, what counts as an extraordinary life?  I don't think there is one.  My life has been exciting.  I have swum the oceans, climbed mountains, and walked through forests and deserts.  Two thousand years ago you had to join the Roman Army for 20-25 years to get in that kind of experience.  Today you just need to plan your two-week vacation around an annual road trip.

As a professional "work for hire" writer I have written a lot of copy you have read.  You'll never know it was me.  In "work for hire" writing you never get credit for your work.  You're just a paid tool churning out words for the masses.  My ego didn't need the byline.  My mortgage needed the money.
