I was born a poor boy.
No, that is not true. As a baby boomer, I lead a good life. Dad was a Republican, Mom a Democrat. We had a fairly normal life, it was not all roses. There were times where we lived by the maxim "Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do." I wanted to be an astronaut, which eventually morphed into engineering. Actually, for a while, I wanted to be an architect, but it seemed like a lot of work. Ha. Engineering was difficult. I was not great, but a passable engineer. Later, I obtained a MBA and a MSCIS and became somewhat technologically capable. For some years, i worked in the computer industry, writing some software, managing projects, working with customers. But it was not exceptionally fulfilling.
As a creative person, I have a liberal bent, so I created some designs that I feel strike me. Hopefully they strike some people as relevant.
