Living in the California high desert with beautiful professor & wife, Bonnie Spears, & mega-cool artist son, Evan R. Spears, all of us in the company of an ever-expanding "rescued animal" roster. As I have done wroted about our lives here: "The moon is drunk with the sleek whiskey of our happiness." I've returned to writing after several years of self-banishment.
