Greetings!

Greetings, dear reader.

For the past two years I have been spending my Wednesday nights in the Teasers Men’s Club of Durham, North Carolina. The ladies there inspired many poems, enough to produce a small book which I am in the process of publishing. This blog will keep my readers posted on the progress of that project plus I’ll be posting the occasional new poem.

For those who aren’t interested in my poetry, I’ll be reprising my dead presidents collection where I describe adventures had while visiting the graves of all the dead presidents and vice presidents of the United States.

And for all the other taphophiles out there, I’ll post the graves of my direct ancestors describing aspects of their lives and any puzzling events related to my discovery of their final resting places.
