I did academically okay at the University of Missouri at Rolla, but again I didn't really fit in. I worked briefly for NCR in Wichita, then bailed out to join the staff of Creative Computing magazine in New Jersey. From there I went to The University of Michigan at Flint to teach computer science for three years, then to Ann Arbor, then to East Lansing. I think 17 places and had about that many jobs. Breakfast is often bagels and cream cheese.
Lunch is often a tuna sub.
I eat a lot, but as long as I keep walking, it doesn't make me fat. But if I take a few weeks off in the middle of the winter and hole up, I notice my jeans begin to shrink. I do not have a sweet tooth, and would never buy candy on my own initiative. I'm keeping it from getting worse, but it is a specter that haunts my thoughts of old age. I write constantly.
