There were no little kids to play with, so my best friend became the TV. I loved those afternoon adventure shows like Buffalo Bill Jr and Anny Okely.Sky King was another favorite. He was a crime-fighting rancher with an airplane. He also had a nice named Penny, my first girlfriend. Out in the front yard, all by myself, I played cowboy, with a toy gun, a stick for a horse, and Penny ridding by my side.The old adventure movies from the late '50s and early '60s were something else: Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, the Time Machine. I saw most of them as new movies. They didn't have the same explosion and frantic fights as today, but they felt real, believable as if you were alongside the heroes and leading ladies.I want to write like that; I always wanted to write like that, and around the age of 65, I realized I had better get busy doing it before I ran out of time.I have written one novel and one short story, and I hope I have time to write more. I want to go on another adventure, and I hope some others will enjoy coming along. Here's an overdramatic line I wrote. It's probably not true, but this is my biography. "There are writers, authors, and wordsmiths, but I consider myself a humble tinker of dreams." How did you like that? Let me know in the remarks section.view less
