When I was a child I tied a towel around my neck for a cape and became Super Hero. I daydreamed I was an intrepid adventurer, climbing enchanted mountains filled with all sorts of monsters--and I chopped off all their heads with my Silver Laser Sword. But then I grew older, took a job in a bank and became a teller (hectic and abusive), was promoted to Vice-President (boring), and finally became President of the Bank (even more boring and tedious). THEN: I retired and became a writer. Now my life is as full of excitement and adventure (I conjure up both each time I write!) as it was when I was a child. Even more so. Now that all those "grown up, 9-to-5-job" days are behind me, I am once again Super Hero, once again intrepid adventurer, climbing mountains and slaying monsters to my heart's content . . . !
