My big accomplishments are my two treasured sons, David and Paul. My angelic sister and brilliant brother love me in spite of myself. A pretty good musician, I made decent bucks playing trombone, conducting, arranging, and teaching. However, I feel it is being, not doing, that's important. "Living Well is the Best Revenge." Also I know "what foul dust floated in the wake of {my} dreams." Who can argue against a good single malt, leg of lamb stuffed with apricots and wild rice, and a hearty Merlot?It's not what you do for a living, It's what you are. Life is too short to drive an ugly truck. (Pardon the undocumented allusions.)
