Thomas J. Mason

Thomas J. Mason is a retired Information Technology Manager who lives in the High Desert north of Los Angeles with his wife of forty-two years and their dog, Tara. He discovered, after falling in love with the beautiful redhead who was to become his wife, that in addition to her incredibly cute redheaded twins, she had six other children. But by then it was too late. He was hooked. She continues to be the best thing that ever happened to him. These days, he puts his great-grandchildren to sleep by singing Irish and Scottish traditional songs while accompanying himself on his Irish flat drum, called a bodhrán.
