So this Monday I am extra grateful. Suna started her new job today, and I still have open prospects. While things may not be financially stable yet, I am grateful for these things, too.

The Hermits
Only one hermit remains. The ninth hermit lives in Central Texas with Suna, Beccano, TubaBoy, Buddy, Scrunch, and Rose. He attends Friday night high school football games and supports the band. A retired musician, he participates in the church choir and occasionally plays guitar, bass, or another instrument at church. He does not hang out in bars anywhere near as much as when he was trying to be Li Po.
Other than family and music and song writing, his interests include writing. He has authored many technical tomes, several short stories, and a novel.
For more information, see the complete profile.
