Welcome to The Neurosis Files, a running commentary on all that vexes and amuses me. I hope you'll come out and play. My hobbies are steeping in negativity, embracing victimhood, and choosing linens for my death bed. Presently I’m suffering a mid-life crisis--my third to date. I can never find jeans that fit right; I speak of this often. I spend my days making fun of golf carts, railing at insurance companies and obsessing over my hair. My greatest talent is reacting to petty irritations as crises. Several years ago I decided to write a humor comprised of humorous essays. This was on the suggestion of family and friends, who found my writing funny. I suspect they also felt beleaguered by my steady torrent of essay-length emails. In lieu of getting an MFA, I became a literary barfly, spending untold chunks of time and money at Barnes and Noble. Four thousand no foam lattes later, I have an impressive collection of books about writing, all of which I have actually read. And continue to study. So far I've had essays published in four literary magazines, and I'm presently in the process of seeking an agent for the memoir as a whole.
