MY OTHER INTERESTS

Below are some of the things I've been interested in over the years they are only for your amusement. It is obvious there is never enough time to do everything. It will take a while to show you everything, but if you're interested please be patient. Most are prose or poems, a few plays, and three musicals. None published, some submitted only once and rejected, but as gardening and latterly dahlias have taken up my time I thought the time was ripe to show the world my other side, or it will remain on this computer unread.
