hey Adam ~
I'm so glad you posted some of your writings. Do you like music? Have you ever listened to Joseph Arthur? You remind me a bit of his lyrics.
It's funny, I was just telling someone else from PB about my strange father, who got an undergraduate degree in English at Yale (he won a scholarship there, I think for football), but took all the science classes he needed to get into a PhD program in pharmacology there. I made my best grades in engineering classes, but fell in love with literary studies and continental philosophy...so, of course, I have always made my living working with computers. I'll always dig that left brain/right brain mix.
I stopped writing after a bad hospitalization experience. Still haven't figured out what happened, but I'll always be a readerly sort. I'm so glad that people like yrself do what you do.
best,
mars
