    I was born in the days when only rich people had carpets on their floors and TV's to watch. At this point, I'm dragging my feet about keeping up with technology. I wanted to be a writer when I was attending Hobart College in the late sixties, but the dean told me my grades were too bad to enroll as an English major, shortly before I flunked out. Maybe I'm a slow learner.
