About Me
I am a three times retired medical school professor. I grew up in Louisiana but I am not Cajun, no.
At the present I am an Assistant Dean and I teach emergency medicine courses in Antigua (West Indies).
For years, I have planned to write a novel set in a Caribbean medical school. Next year (which will begin for me 12 January 2009) I will retire again, go home to Maryland and finish the novel.

exploreI started to say my favorite word was adventure, but the spidergram scared me off.
Least Favorite Word:
rapacityOkay, I will play your silly game, but how can anyone have something against a word.
However, while I have nothing against the word, I do detest the insatiable desire for wealth . . . or any other insatiable desire.
